The focus of this course is to give an overview on the EFSA´s guidance on the use of the weight of evidence (WoE) approach in scientific assessments. The three basic steps of a WoE approach are assembling, weighing and integrating the evidence in order to derive a final conclusion. These single steps are explained, discussed and their integration is highlighted with suitable examples. Furthermore, common ground and differences to the US National Toxicology Program’s “OHAT approach for systematic review and evidence integration” is discussed.
This self-paced training is structured in four modules that consist of training materials delivered by the Fraunhofer institute for EFSA.
