Why register?
Registration is free and easy, and gives you access to search the full content in ways that best suit your information needs.
You can easily search using our list of topics or by entering search terms, to retrieve Evidence Summaries, Web Resource Ratings and Blog Posts prepared for citizens, or to retrieve full research articles written for professionals.
Once you’ve registered and logged in, you will have full access to the best available research evidence related to optimal aging and drawn from three best-in-class resources:
- McMasterPLUS™ for clinical questions (to improve your and your family’s health)
- Health Evidence™ for public health questions (to improve your community’s health)
- Health Systems Evidence for health system questions (to improve what your health system can do for you).
You can also sign up to receive email alerts containing links to newly prepared Evidence Summaries and Web Resource Ratings, or to newly identified research that is specific to the topics of most interest to you.
Visitors to the Portal who have not registered are still able to read the Blog Posts and browse some content, but you will need to register and log in to run searches or view all of the Evidence Summaries, Web Resource Ratings and thousands of research articles.
