BD di Revisioni Sistematiche: DARE

The Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE)

Background: One of the ways in which CRD promotes the use of research based knowledge in health and social care is by producing the DARE database. DARE focuses on systematic reviews of the effects of interventions used in health and social care and is used by health professionals, policy makers and researchers around the world. The database contains:

• Over 4000 abstracts of quality assessed and critically appraised systematic reviews.
• Summaries of all Cochrane reviews and protocols.
• Details of abstracts in the process of being written which can be fast tracked on request.

All CRD databases are searched via a single interface and are updated every month. The databases are FREE to access via the CRD website and are also available via the Cochrane Library.
