Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A systematic review is usually done by more than one person and describes the methods used to search for the evidence. It is a method of identifying, appraising, and synthesizing research evi-dence to evaluate and interpret all available research relevant to a particular research question.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The PHRG works with contributors to produce and publish Cochrane reviews of the effects of population-level public health interventions. The PHRG undertakes systematic reviews of the ef-fects of public health interventions to improve health and other outcomes at the population level, not those targeted at individuals. The Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Project pro-vides access to numerous databases of interest concerning public health. PubMed is a biblio-graphical database that includes references for nursing, medicine, dentistry, the health care sys-tem, and preclinical sciences. The Task Force on Community Preventive Services is charged with determining the topics to be addressed by the CDC's Community Guide and the most appropri-ate means to assess evidence regarding population-based interventions.
