Hi Mike. The best tool to use for this purpose is the AGREE II Tool. This web page is a really good place for you to have a look as there are also training tools on there as well, which you may be able to tailor to your specific audience: https://www.agreetrust.org/resource-centre/agree-ii/ Hope this helps! Emma.

do you know if there is any published guidelines about appraising the quality of Guidelines , but not PRISMA , too involved perhaps for my UG students

Many thanks. I know I will enjoy this access. I will participate in the nutrition area when my time permits, even with translation into Spanish.
