The aim of the Column is to highlight Cochrane systematic reviews of relevance to public health, and to stimulate debate on relevance, feasibility and acceptability. The Cochrane Collaboration (http://www.cochrane.org) is an international, non-profit organization that prepares and disseminates up-to-date systematic reviews on the effects of healthcare interventions in order to help people make well-informed decisions. Systematic reviews aim to answer focused healthcare questions by systematically identifying and evaluating all relevant research studies and synthesizing their results.
