Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Instrument (AGREE II)

The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation Instrument (AGREE II) was developed to address the issue of variability in the quality of practice guidelines and this was initiated with the development of the original AGREE Instrument. AGREE II assesses the methodological rigour and transparency in which a practice guideline is developed and can be used to guide their development.
