This month we feature the Cochrane Review assessing the effect of calcium supplementation during pregnancy on the occurrence of high blood pressure, and adverse maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes.

The aim of the Column is to highlight Cochrane 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.
