About the Cochrane Consumers and Communication Review Group
The Cochrane Consumers and Communication Review Group is part of the Cochrane Collaboration, an international, non-profit organisation that aims to help people make well-informed decisions about health care. This is primarily done by the preparation, maintenance and promotion of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions.
Our scope
The Consumers and Communication Review Group coordinates the production of systematic reviews of interventions which affect consumers' interactions with healthcare professionals, services and researchers.
Our reviews fall into six categories:
- Interventions directed to the consumer
- Interventions from the consumer
- Interventions for communication exchange between providers and consumers
- Interventions for communication between consumers
- Interventions for communication to the healthcare provider from another source
- Service delivery interventions
