The Evidence Analysis Library offers evidence-based reviews of research questions and provides citations of pertinent studies on topics including disorders of lipid metabolism, heart failure and hypertension. Food- and nutrient- focused reviews address fatty acids, fiber, dairy, fish, nuts, plant oils, sterols and stanols.

Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines are a series of guiding statements and treatment algorithms developed using a systematic process for identifying, analyzing and synthesizing scientific evidence. They are designed to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate nutrition care for specific disease states or conditions. The public has access to the executive summary of recommendations for all evidence-based nutrition practice guidelines. Full access to all content of all the guidelines is limited to Academy members and subscribers to the Academy’s Evidence Analysis Library.

Evidence-Based Practice Toolkits are a set of companion documents which are disease or condition specific and detail how the practitioner applies specific Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines in practice. They include documentation forms, outcomes monitoring sheets, client education resources, case studies and MNT protocols for implementing Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines. Toolkits are available for purchase, with discounted prices offered to Academy members. Evidence-Based Practice Presentations are PowerPoint presentations, also available for purchase with member discounted rates that cover the related guidelines for meetings, in-service presentations.
