I was wondering if you could circulate the message below re Cochrane Disaster Aid as widely as possible- including to any e-groups to which you have access. Also can you forward to Jane Sandall, Soo Downe etc Hopefully we can catch up when you are back in TCD. BW, Joan Dr Joan Lalor Senior Lecturer, Trinity College Dublin, 24 D'Olier Street, Dublin 2.

Some of you reading this message will have worked on or used Cochrane reviews. Since the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, the Collaboration has been working with WHO, PAHO (which is the WHO regional office in the Americas), and others to make relevant details from Cochrane reviews and other systematic reviews available through Evidence Aid. An initial document was shared with the WHO and PAHO on January 13 and put on the internet on January 15. The resources summarise the conclusions of systematic reviews about for example, water disinfection, wound and fracture management, minimising the need for blood transfusions and post-traumatic stress disorders. The information has been translated into French and Spanish by the relevant parts of the Cochrane Collaboration. Evidence Aid seeks to help people trying to cope with aftermath of the disaster to find up-to-date, relevant evidence which may resolve some of their uncertainties about what to do. Please pass on these details to others who might find it helpful. The resources are available at http://www.cochrane.org/evidenceaid/haiti/index.html and are also available through the WHO and PAHO websites. The Cochrane Library itself is free at the point of use in the region and PDF versions of all Cochrane reviews highlighted in the new Evidence Aid information are being bundled together and made available free on the internet by Wiley-Blackwell. === This message has been checked for viruses but the contents of an attachment may still contain software viruses which could damage your computer system: you are advised to perform your own checks.
