A rapid systematic COSMIN review of impact indicators suitable for the Canadian Cancer Society’s knowledge mobilization programs

In partnership with donors and volunteers the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) continuously improves impact through cancer research, advocacy and support services. CCS’ goal is to provide the highest quality cancer information for all Canadians, promote cancer prevention, and provide targeted support to help people with cancer, their families and caregivers, cope.
This project aims to support the articulation of impact of the CCS. Given the CCS’ broad scope of programming, the identification of outcomes and the selection of instruments to measure outcomes requires a rigorous approach. The project will rely on an established approach for the selection of instruments and the assessment of their quality – the COSMIN methodology. The COSMIN approach is a type of systematic review that focuses on instruments and their properties. The project will be an important step in CCS’ development of an impact measurement framework to highlight its importance, its successes and identify areas for improvement.
