However policy contexts differ from clinical contexts in terms of complexity and uncertainty requiring different approaches for identifying interpreting and applying many different types of evidence to support decisions. With few studies in the literature offering decision guidance specifically to health policymakers the present study aims to facilitate the structured and systematic incorporation of research evidence and where there is currently very little guidance values and other non-research-based evidence into the policy making process. The resulting decision aid is intended to help public sector health policy decision makers who are tasked with making evidence-informed decisions on behalf of populations. The intent is not to develop a decision aid that will yield uniform recommendations across jurisdictions but rather to facilitate more transparent policy decisions that reflect a balanced consideration of all relevant factors. Methods design The study comprises three phases a modified meta-narrative review the use of focus groups and the application of a Delphi method. The modified meta-narrative review will inform the initial development of the decision aid by identifying as many policy decision factors as possible and other features of methodological guidance deemed to be desirable in the literatures of all relevant disciplines. The first of two focus groups will then seek to marry these findings with focus group members own experience and
