It takes about 17 years for research evidence to be applied in clinical practice.
Think about that!
What if this information were already available to you?
Actually it is.   You just have to know where to look.

I am a vocational nurse and public health student, and I am personally interested in everything that contributes to our health and well-being.  I believe that we are empowered to make the right decisions about our health care and well-being, when we have options to choose from.  Information provides those options.  Not too long ago, it was difficult to get any information, now we get too much, and it may be difficult to know what information is reliable and trustworthy. 

It takes an average of 17 years for research evidence to reach clinical practice.  I'm interested in closing that gap, by exploring and evaluating information that is available to us right now but hasn't made it's way into clinical practice yet.  If you are interested in actively participating in your health and well-being, you might find some of the information here useful.
