Practical advice for getting involved with The Cochrane Collaboration

Sažetak
The Cochrane Collaboration is a non-profit international organization whose goal is improving healthcare decision-making globally, through systematic review of the effects of healthcare interventions, published in The Cochrane Library. A branch of The Cochrane Collaboration was founded in Croatia in 2008. to promote evidence-based medicine (EBM) and systematic reviews in Croatia and neighboring countries. There are a number of ways in which Croatian healthcare workers can get involved with The Cochrane Collaboration: becoming a review author, defending a doctoral thesis based on a Cochrane review, getting involved as an editor of a Cochrane editorial team, becoming a Field member, providing methodological expert advice, being a handsearcher or translator, helping in fundraising and simply – using The Cochrane Library and other EBM resources. Lay people can also get involved as representatives of consumers, i.e. patients. Practical advice is given to healthcare providers and users so that they can effectively participate in activities of Croatian Cochrane branch. Since goals of The Cochrane Collaboration are very ambitious, they take a lot of skills and time, so everybody’s invited to take part in this movement and in such way help change the world.
