The Agree Trust
Welcome to the AGREE Website
The AGREE Instrument (2003) was developed in response to the variable quality of practice guidelines (PG). The AGREE Instrument evaluates the process of PG development and the quality of reporting, and since its availability in 2003, it has been translated in many languages, formally endorsed by several organizations, and used by many PG development groups.
In 2006, the AGREE Next Steps Consortium (Consortium) came together with the objectives of strengthening the measurement properties of the original AGREE Instrument, refining some of the items, systematically exploring its utlity across different stakeholder groups (clinicians, PG developers, and policy makers), improving the supporting documentation to help users implement the instrument with more confidence.
We are pleased to announce that the results of the Consortium's efforts are the AGREE II- the new standard for PG development, reporting, and evaluation. The AGREE II is ready for official release! We are awaiting the journal publications of our methodological papers and once these are published, we will post the new AGREE II on this website.
The new AGREE II is here! |

We are awaiting journal publication before the official public release. Check back often for the new AGREE II! |
The following papers are in-press with the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ): AGREE II: Advancing guideline development, reporting and evaluation in healthcare Performance, Usefulness and Areas for Improvements: Development Steps towards the AGREE II- Part 1 Validity Assessment of Items and Tools to Support Application: Development Steps towards the AGREE II- Part 2 |
