Cochrane Column

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

The aim of the Column is to highlight Cochrane Reviews of relevance to public health, and to stimulate debate on relevance, feasibility and acceptability. This month we feature the review by Lazzerini et al. on oral zinc for treating diarrhoea in children.

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.
