Objective: To summarize the evidence on the effectiveness of soil remediation to prevent or reduce lead exposure.
Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, the Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, Web of Science, and Scopus from 1980 to February 15, 2021. We also performed reference list checking, hand-searched websites, and contacted experts.
Objectives: The aim of this paper is to provide detailed guidance on how to incorporate health equity within the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) evidence to decision process.
Study Design And Setting: We developed this guidance based on the GRADE evidence to decision frame-work, iteratively reviewing and modifying draft documents, in person discussion of project group members and input from other GRADE members. This is a German translation of the original paper published in English.
Objectives: The aim of this paper is to describe a conceptual framework for how to consider health equity in the Grading Recommendations Assessment and Development Evidence (GRADE) guideline development process.
Study Design And Setting: Consensus-based guidance developed by the GRADE working group members and other methodologists. This is a German translation of the original paper published in English.
Objectives: Occupational injuries and diseases are a huge public health problem and cause extensive suffering and loss of productivity. Nevertheless, many occupational health and safety (OHS) guidelines are still not based on the best available evidence. In the last decade, numerous systematic reviews on behavioural, relational and mixed interventions to reduce occupational injuries and diseases have been carried out, but a comprehensive synopsis is yet missing.

Study Design And Setting: Literature review followed by group discussions and consensus building.
Results: The key stages at which guideline developers could consider equity include setting priorities, guideline group membership, identifying the target audience(s), generating the guideline questions, considering the importance of outcomes and interventions, deciding what evidence to include and searching for evidence, summarizing the evidence and considering additional information, wording of recommendations, and evaluation and use.
Objectives: This article introduces the rationale and methods for explicitly considering health equity in the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology for developing clinical, public health, and health system guidelines. This article is a German translation of the original version published in English.
Study Design And Setting: We searched for guideline methodology articles, conceptual articles about health equity, and examples of guidelines that considered health equity explicitly.
The Austrian periodic health examination (PHE) was introduced in 1974 as a health insurance benefit and was redesigned for the last time in 2005. Therefore, the aim of this work was to revise the scientific basis of the PHE using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach. We updated the scientific evidence of examinations and consultations that are currently part of the PHE and searched and integrated new examinations.
