Cochrane Behavioral Medicine Field
http://www.cochranebehavmed.org
A new Cochrane Behavioral Medicine Field was established within The Cochrane Collaboration in February by Dr Karina W. Davidson of Columbia University in collaboration with many colleagues. The Cochrane Collaboration (www.cochrane.org) is an international organisation that has conducted and disseminated systematic reviews of health interventions for more than 10 years. The Behavioral Medicine Field focuses on “interventions that improve health outcomes through behavioral mechanisms alone or in combination with other therapies”1. Dr. Kimberlee J. Trudeau is the Field Administrator, and Ms. Louise Falzon is the Field Trials Search Coordinator.
The objective of this field is to increase the access to the evidence-base in behavioral medicine as well as to create increased expertise in the use of systematic review methodology.
