Cochrane Reviews and Protocols of Relevance to Health Promotion and Public Health

The PHRG checks The Cochrane Library for Reviews and Protocols relevant to health promotion and public health  with each quarterly release. A list of these reviews and protocols is available here. This list contains protcols and reviews within and outside of the topic scope of the new PHRG.  Protocols and reviews published by the PHRG will be highlighted in our module within The Cochrane Library (under About Cochrane).

Contact cochrane@vichealth.vic.gov.au if you are interested in being an author on or peer refereeing Cochrane protocols and reviews of HPPH topics.
