We encourage the public to participate in the development of our research projects. Comments can be submitted for: Treatment of Stage I-III Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the Anal Canal
(Available for comment until February 28, 2023) The purpose of this review is to synthesize existing evidence on the comparative effectiveness and harms of different treatment modalities for stage I-III squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal. The Effective Health Care (EHC) Program is interested in receiving supplemental evidence and data (SEADs) for systematic reviews that are relevant to the questions in our evidence reports. To ensure that it has full access to relevant research, whether or not it is published, the EHC Program is interested in receiving SEADs containing detailed study-specific information. Opportunities to submit scientific information are available for: Behavioral Interventions for Migraine Prevention
(Available for submission until February 24, 2023) The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is collaborating with the American Headache Society (AHS) and Patient-Centered Outcome Research Institute (PCORI) to conduct a systematic evidence review on interventions for behavioral interventions for migraine prevention. The final Research Protocol will be used to guide a systematic review of the evidence by researchers at an Evidence-based Practice Center. The resulting systematic review will form the basis of the AHS clinical practice guidelines on this topic. The intended audience includes guideline developers, health system administrators, and clinicians who provide care to individuals with migraine (e.g., primary care providers, advanced practice practitioners, neurologists, and psychologists). (Section 944 (c) of the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 299c 3(c)] requires that information collected for research conducted or supported by AHRQ that identifies individuals or establishments be used only for the purpose for which it was supplied unless they consent to the use of the information for another purpose.) About us: AHRQ's Effective Health Care Program is committed to providing the best available evidence on the outcomes, benefits and harms, and appropriateness of drugs, devices, and health care services and by helping health care professionals, patients, policymakers, and health care systems make informed health care decisions. The program partners with research centers, academic institutions, health professional societies, consumer organizations, and other stakeholders to conduct research, evidence synthesis, evidence translation, dissemination, and implementation of research findings.
