我们提供可靠的健康证据，供世界各地的人们做出明智的健康决策。我们努力确保我们的证据能够为所有人带来更好的健康。
1.我们为最需要的人提供及时、相关的证据
Cochrane的主要工作是制作系统综述。系统综述是一种以标准化方式审查有关特定健康问题的研究的所有数据和结果的方法，以便对所有相关证据提供客观、清晰的概述。系统综述是最可靠的健康证据形式，我们被广泛认为是系统综述领域的领导者。了解有关系统综述的更多信息。
我们撰写 Cochrane综述，以便医疗专业人员、患者和政策制定者在需要就如何预防、治疗或管理疾病做出决定时都能获得准确、可靠的信息——无论是在个人层面还是制定全球健康指南。我们召集了专业研究人员、临床医生、健康状况不佳的人及其家人和护理人员，就广泛的健康主题撰写综述，以确保我们的研究结果与所有人相关且有用。通过我们的 科学战略， 我们专注于四个关键研究重点来应对最紧迫的健康挑战。
“Cochrane 通过在医疗决策者 （ 无论是患者、政策制定者还是医疗服务提供者）和科学知识之间架起了一座桥梁，从根本上改变了研究应用的格局。”
路易斯·加布里埃尔·库尔沃，哥伦比亚。泛美卫生组织/世界卫生组织研究促进与发展高级顾问
Cochrane帮助我自助，也帮助很多人–特别是患有乳腺癌的女性。Cochrane 图书馆为您提供可靠的信息、最新的信息，让您成为一个更聪明、更投入的患者。”

2.确保每个人都能提供可信证据并从中获益，从而拯救生命并改善生活
我们为所有拥有技能、经验并愿意帮助我们改善全球健康状况的人提供免费资源和支持。我们培训患者、他们的家人和护理人员如何理解和参与我们的综述；我们支持医疗专业人员和研究人员掌握复杂的综述写作技巧；我们举办活动和网络研讨会来让广泛的人群参与、支持和了解最新情况；等等。
世界各地的 Cochrane 团体是我们工作的独特支柱，他们将拥有各种专业知识的人们聚集在一起，得出与各种文化、环境和种族相关的健康研究结果。通过我们的志愿翻译，我们以 20 多种语言发布我们的证据，使数百万人，特别是中低收入国家或难以获得可靠信息的人们，能够了解我们的研究成果。我们的所有综述都纳入简语概要，以确保每个人都能理解我们的发现。
由于我们严谨的综述研究方法、严格的编辑政策、声誉良好且多元化的综述团队以及我们对持续改进的承诺，我们的证据得到了全世界的信赖。详细了解我们的证据为何值得信赖
“作者从一开始就让我参与进来，选择你想要使用的结局，以及哪些结局对患者来说是重要的。研究实践意义尤其有趣，因为我们知道我们在临床实践中是如何被对待的。”
荷兰的 Bernd Arents 因其湿疹经历而被邀请参加 Cochrane 综述
“科学家们在幕后努力工作，他们确实发挥了作用。我很高兴知道，不仅他接受了治疗，而且他为什么接受治疗以及如何接受治疗。这确实让我感到非常感激。”

3.开展本地和全球合作，加强我们的社区并增强影响力
我们与世界卫生组织建立官方合作关系，我们的研究结果为他们的绝大多数指导方针提供了信息。我们的研究人员与许多专业医疗保健协会和学会合作，这意味着我们的证据通过世界各地的临床医生遵循的健康指南和政策惠及数百万人。了解我们工作的影响。
我们与出版商、研究和教学机构、医疗保健提供商和医疗慈善机构建立了合作关系，以宣传我们的研究成果并倡导在此基础上提供更好的护理。我们还致力于保障循证医学的未来：我们走进当地学校，向大学提供资源，教导下一代如何使用健康证据。我们为信任我们可靠证据和专业知识的机构提供工具、数据和定制综述服务。了解有关我们的产品和服务的更多信息。
“我们希望支持当地服务机构为自己争取权益，现在他们可以根据需要使用这些信息——要么指出他们可能需要做出改变的地方，要么证明他们所做的事情是有效的，并且有利于儿童、家庭和社区。他们确实发挥了作用。”
娜塔莉·斯特罗贝尔博士 (Dr Natalie Strobel)，Cochrane作者，澳大利亚伊迪斯科文大学原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民儿童及家庭健康服务改善中心高级研究员
与Cochrane的合作对世卫组织（World Health Organization，WHO）来说非常重要，这也是我们重视这一伙伴关系的原因。Cochrane 是全球范围内主要的综合、分析和传播证据的机构之一，以便世卫组织可以在指南制定过程中使用这些证据。”

Cochrane has fundamentally transformed the landscape of research use by establishing a bridge between health decisionmakers – whether patients, policymakers or health providers - and scientific knowledge.
Luis Gabriel Cuervo, Colombia. Senior Advisor, Research promotion and development, Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization
Cochrane helps me to help myself, and to help many – especially women with breast cancer. The Cochrane Library gives you reliable information, up-to-date information, which makes you a more intelligent and more involved patient.

2. We save and improve lives by ensuring everyone can contribute to and benefit from trusted evidence
We provide free resources and support to everyone who has the skills, experience and desire to help us improve global health. We train patients, their families and carers in how to understand and contribute to our reviews; we support health professionals and researchers with complex review-writing skills; we run events and webinars to involve, support and update a wide range of people; and much more.
Cochrane groups around the world are the unique backbone of our work, bringing together people with all kinds of expertise to produce health findings that are relevant to a wide variety of cultures, settings and ethnicities. Through our volunteer translators, we publish our evidence in more than 20 languages, unlocking our research for millions, particularly people in low- and middle-income countries or with limited access to reliable information. All our reviews include a plain language summary to ensure everyone can understand our findings.
Our evidence is trusted around the world due to the rigour of our review methods, our strict editorial policies, the renown and variety of our review teams, and our commitment to constant improvement. Find out more about why our evidence is trusted.
The authors involved me from the beginning, when you have to select which outcomes you want to use, which outcomes are important to patients. It was especially interesting to do the implications for practice, because we know how we are treated in clinical practice.
Bernd Arents, The Netherlands, who was invited to take part in a Cochrane Review due to his experiences of eczema
There are scientists working away behind the scenes and they are making a difference, definitely. It makes me feel really good to know, not only that he had the treatment, but why he had the treatment and how he had the treatment. It definitely makes me feel really grateful.

3. We collaborate locally and globally to strengthen our community and enhance impact
We have official relations with the World Health Organization, and our findings inform the vast majority of their guidelines. Our researchers work with many specialist medical and healthcare associations and societies, which means our evidence reaches millions through health guidelines and policies that clinicians all over the world follow. Read about the impact of our work.
We have relationships with publishers, research and teaching institutions, health providers and medical charities to publicize our findings and advocate for better care based on them. We also work to safeguard the future of evidence-based medicine: we go into local schools and provide resources to universities to teach the next generation how to use health evidence. We provide tools, data and custom review services to institutions who trust our sound evidence and expertise. Find out more about our products and services.
We wanted to support local services to advocate for themselves and now they can use this information as they need – either to show where they might need to make changes or to demonstrate that what they're doing is effective and benefits children, families and communities. They are really making a difference.

The collaboration with Cochrane is very important for WHO, and this is why we value this partnership. Cochrane is one of the major institutions, at the global level in particular, to synthesize, analyze, and disseminate evidence so that this evidence can be used by WHO in the guideline process.
