The Cochrane Collaboration

The reliable source of evidence in health care

Impact of Cochrane evidence

Cochrane reviews have become known internationally as sources of high quality, reliable health information, and other groups have begun to interpret, adapt and disseminate Cochrane reviews and information derived from them.

  • The dissemination of Cochrane evidence: an inventory of resources that use Cochrane reviews
    This inventory is the first phase of a broader project aiming to demonstrate the growing influence of The Cochrane Collaboration on health care. It catalogues resources that publish and disseminate evidence derived from The Cochrane Library. Go to the full document here: [Web page] or [PDF format]

    A Russian translation is also available, provided by the American International Health Alliance, as part of their toolkit of evidence-based online health information resources for clinicians in Eastern Europe. [PDF format]
