COCHRANE is a research institution considered to be one of the most reliable sources of healthcare evidence. Over the past 20 years, its network of 37,000-plus researchers and professionals worldwide has published more than 7,500 reviews that summarise the best clinical trials.
But with healthcare research doubling in the past decade, it is getting harder to keep up-to-date with the latest findings. So Cochrane is now inviting members of the public to get involved. So far, nearly 19,000 people worldwide have taken part in Cochrane Crowd, a website that trains volunteers in what to look for in research.
They will help confirm whether the studies are the gold standard of research – a randomised controlled trial – and report their findings via its website. Almost 500,000 such classifications have been made since it was launched in 2016.
