The People’s Review is funded by the Health Research Board (Ireland) (ESI-2021-001) and the HSC Research and Development Division of the Public Health Agency (Northern Ireland) through Evidence Synthesis Ireland and Cochrane Ireland.
Description: Awareness and understanding of systematic reviews and the role that they play in healthcare is quite low in the general population. Existing work by Cochrane aims to better support people to make sense of and co-produce health evidence. The People’s Review will actively involve the public in the planning, production and dissemination of a systematic review, which will help them understand how evidence guides healthcare provided by a health service and everyday health decision-making.
Our work builds on the success of The People’s Trial, in which members of the public designed, planned and took part in an online randomized trial (https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-021-05984-1) with the aim of improving the understanding of clinical trials.
