Archived EPC Evidence Reports

The following is a list of EPC evidence reports that have not been updated within the past 5 years and are therefore no longer considered current. They are maintained for archival purposes only.

The decision not to update a report is based on several factors, such as the amount of new literature, potential changes to practice and policy, partner interest, available funding, and new nominations. If a partner nominates one of the archived topics for a new report, it is considered along with other topic nominations.

Please direct inquiries about EPC topics to epc@ahrq.gov.
