The Mental Health Library (Cochrane Reviews)

The evidence base for mental health care

 

Much information on what helps or harms people with psychiatric, psychological, cognitive, learning or behavioural problems is conflicting and out of date. The Mental Health Library is designed to address this by making the best evidence available in a single resource.

The Mental Health Library comprises the full text of all relevant Cochrane systematic reviews, the first ever study-based register containing hand-selected and coded trials, assessments of guidelines and several other collections - including an economic evaluation database.

 

The Mental Health Library includes several collections of documents ranging from systematic reviews of research evidence, through structured abstracts critiquing material published elsewhere, to a register of primary research studies on the effectiveness of interventions. (11/05)
