The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and its websites provide practical health care information, research findings, and data to help consumers, health providers, health insurers, researchers, and policymakers make informed decisions about health care issues. AHRQ is committed to making the information and resources on the websites that it sponsors accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities.

People in the health care system are making important decisions about treatments and interventions every day, whether they have information or not. In order for these decisions to be the most informed possible, people making health care decisions should have access to the best available information—even if it is not definitive—when they need it and in a way they can understand. Our work also helps our Federal partners and policymakers make critical decisions by filling gaps in information on what works and what does not work in health care services, and by identifying important gaps for future research.
