Cochrane Public Health Reviews

The Cochrane Library is published monthly and includes reviews and protocols relevant to health promotion and public health. 

Cochrane Public Health Reviews prioritize reviews

• addressing the structural and social determinants of health
• addressing non-communicable disease risks
• about strategies to improve the translation of public health interventions into policy and practice.
• about interventions operating at the level of community, systems, policy, legislation and regulation and those that operate outside of the health service system, such as education, transport, the built environment, agriculture, child care and social services
