National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools

Welcome to the National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT)

We are one of six National Collaborating Centres for Public Health in Canada. The NCCMT provides leadership and expertise in sharing what works in public health.

Who is the NCCMT for?

Our primary target audiences are public health managers and professionals across Canada who promote and facilitate evidence-informed decision making. Our products and services are available and relevant to all public health practitioners, policy makers and researchers./.../

Evidence-Informed Public Health

The process of distilling and disseminating the best available evidence, whether from research or from actual practice, and using that evidence to inform and improve public health practice and policy.

Put simply, it means finding, using and sharing what works in public health.
