List of Cochrane HP and PH reviews and protocols

Abstracts of the reviews can be viewed at no charge at the Collaboration's website. Full text of reviews and protocols are only available through The Cochrane Library.

The following is an updated list of reviews and protocols of health promotion and public health interventions, not just those within the scope of, and published by, the PHRG.  The PHRG is a new review group and thus we have no publications at present.  For a list of potential PHRG titles and those under production, click here.

Please note (new) indicates new entry as at Issue 2, 2008 of The Cochrane Library.
