The new Thematic Group will focus on supporting the systematic uptake and integration of evidence-based interventions into health and public health systems to improve their impact on individuals and communities globally. It brings together decades of expertise from several Cochrane groups that have already collaborated effectively for many years. The creation of this new group will make it easier to collaborate and will enable the further pooling of expertise.
Group Member Rebecca Ryan explained: “Working more closely as a coordinated Thematic Group will enable cross-cutting priority topics to be identified, along with overlapping areas where research waste might be reduced. There will also be scope to explore effective and efficient ways of providing content input through new Evidence Synthesis Units and the Central Editorial Service. There are so many possibilities.”
