How do you know if one health care treatment or intervention is any better than another, or if it will do more good than harm? Information about health
is everywhere, but how can health professionals and consumers make sense of all the research going on around the world?
These are just some of the questions that the Cochrane Library attempts
to answer. The Cochrane Library brings together research which looks at
the effectiveness of different health care treatments and interventions.
It is recognised as the best single source of information on the effects
of health care.
This third edition of the guide has been revised and updated by the Australasian Cochrane Centre. It reflects
changes that have been made to the Cochrane Library during 2006-2008.
We recommend viewing this User Guide
and the Cochrane Library simultaneously.
