Handsearching Course (online)

This short web-based course will train you to play one of the most important roles in the international effort of the Cochrane Collaboration. Handsearching, the process of manually screening peer-reviewed biomedical journals, conference proceedings and other publications for the best-available evidence is an integral process in identifying results of research that can be used in Cochrane reviews. This training module will prepare handsearchers to identify randomized controlled and controlled clinical trials that match the rigorous standards that doctors, researchers, health care consumers, and others have come to expect from the Cochrane Collaboration.

Understanding Evidence-based Healthcare:  A Foundation for Action (online)

  • Next offering: November 15th!

This web course was created by the United States Cochrane Center as part of a project undertaken by Consumers United for Evidence-based Healthcare (CUE).   It is designed to help consumer advocates understand the fundamentals of evidence-based healthcare concepts and skills. Course registration will be offered every month. Participants will have three months to complete the course and must commit to completing all evaluations.

The goals of this course are to provide consumer advocates and others with the tools they need to:

  • Successfully navigate the world of medical information,
  • Critically appraise research studies,
  • Influence the creation of responsible public policy in healthcare, and
  • Help the people they serve to make healthcare choices based on the best available evidence.

Systematic Review Workshop

This workshop guides participants through the steps of developing a systematic review. Designed for individuals who have published a protocol in The Cochrane Library or who have a protocol approved for publication by a Cochrane Review Group, the workshop is also open to those interested in learning more about performing systematic reviews, space permitting. The workshop includes presentations about Cochrane methodology (identification of best evidence, quality assessment, synthesis and analysis) and hands-on practice using the Cochrane Collaboration’s Review Manager (RevMan) software.
