Are you interested in citizen science and health research? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider becoming a member of the Cochrane Crowd<\/a>! The Crowd is a Cochrane<\/a> initiative inviting volunteers to contribute to high quality, independent health evidence. Cochrane<\/a> is a global, not-for-profit network of researchers aiming to gather and summarize research evidence to improve health outcomes. Research output has grown exponentially and there is a significant need to sift through large quantities of research on whether treatments work or how accurate diagnostic tests are, to name but a couple of examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finding and classifying all the research on a given intervention or topic can be unfeasible for research teams with limited resources. This is where the Crowd comes in: Volunteers for the Cochrane Crowd help identify and categorize research by contributing to tasks such as screening records to pick out randomized controlled trials or studies on COVID-19. Just a few minutes a day can make a big difference when many hands make light work. Check out their FAQ<\/a> for common questions and answers, and join the Crowd. You’ll be surprised by what you learn along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
