Hi Gill,

We have listed and linked to a large number of healthcare/science databases organised by WHO geographic region. There are sections for research study/trials registries and databases.  The list was set up for finding randomised controlled trials but most of the databases listed contain many different types of study, not just trials.

Hi Gill

 

In the Cochrane Handbook http://handbook-5-1.cochrane.org/  there’s a list of regional databases (see Section 6.2.1 Box 6.2.a Examples of regional electronic bibliographic databases).

Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions handbook-5-1.cochrane.org Home > Front page. Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions . Version 5.1.0 [updated March 2011] Editors: Julian PT Higgins and Sally Green

 

The Handbook doesn’t provide link to page, but searching for the box title will bring it up.

Dear All,

 

I have been asked by a researcher if I can point her to any databases that specifically deal with healthcare literature from South Asia. She also said that she would like to know more about "regional databases".  Does anyone have any knowledge in this area?

 

Many thanks
