A print media analysis was conducted in 44 countries in the global south in order to better understand the climate for evidence-informed health systems, and to provide a baseline for evaluation of knowledge-translation platforms. Few articles describing health research evidence discussed systematic reviews (2%) or health systems research (2%), or researcher involvement (9%).Text1 digital file (7 p. : ill)application/pdfenHEALTH SYSTEMKNOWLEDGE SHARINGMASS MEDIAEVIDENCE-BASED POLICY MAKINGHEALTH POLICYHEALTH SYSTEMS RESEARCHGLOBAL SOUTHPUBLISHINGPOLICY ENGAGEMENTJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
