Abstract

ABSTRACT: Health leaders in an academic setting sought to engage with community members to gain insight into their health information needs. Using evidence-based practice methodology, they established a community advisory board that represents and articulates patients' perspectives, which are then incorporated into educational efforts to assist the public in using evidence to make health decisions.
