The Cochrane Collaboration is an
international network of people helping healthcare providers,
policy makers, patients, their advocates and carers, make
well-informed decisions about human health care by preparing,
updating and promoting the accessibility of (Cochrane) systematic
reviews. The Meta-analysis Group has been associated with the
Collaboration since its earliest days, being jointly responsible
for setting up the IPD Meta-analysis Methods Group.
Our Cochrane activities include:
- Contributing systematic reviews to the
Cochrane Database of
Systematic Reviews
- Acting as peer reviewers and methodological
advisors for several Cochrane Review Groups
- Co-convening the IPD
Meta-analysis Methods Group
- Running workshops and providing other
training and advice on IPD meta-analysis methods to members at
Cochrane Colloquia and UK meetings
- Serving on advisory committees and
boards
