On the title page, the title is sufficiently clear and concise to facilitate indexing. Authors names and
affiliations are also identified. The date of preparation must be included. Title identifies what was
evaluated, including target population, if applicable. The name of client of funder(s) is identified. Text

of methods and analytical strategy, if appropriate. The executive summary contains summary of main
findings, implications of findings. It also contains recommendations, if appropriate.
