Evidence based child health (eJournal)

Evidence-Based Child Health: A Cochrane Review Journal will present new or substantively updated systematic literature reviews from The Cochrane Library that are relevant to child health. These reviews will be of interest to practitioners, parents, patients, and other child health advocates. The aim of the journal is to allow readers to inform their clinical decision-making and policy development with the highest-quality research evidence available. Each issue of Evidence-Based Child Health will highlight 4-6 Cochrane reviews on topics that are controversial, that recommend a change in practice, or for which particularly strong evidence exists. These reviews will be fully published in the journal, accompanied by their structured abstract. An expert commentary or editorial will accompany 2-3 key reviews that deserve particular attention. To promote greater appeal to parents, patients, and policy makers, concise, easily understood and interesting synopses will also accompany each key review.
