Aims and objectives

The main aim of Nordic Cochrane Centre’s research is to find out whether interventions in healthcare provide meaningful benefits to people that exceed their harms. We identify and assess the scientific literature in a systematic way and publish our results in so-called systematic reviews, which may help people make evidence-based decisions about healthcare interventions.
