A full collection of resources is available at www.cochrane.org/evidenceaid/haiti/. Please find below the free full text (pdf format) for a selection of relevant systematic reviews from The Cochrane Library. Please note that many countries have full text access to the html versions of these reviews via the Virtual Health Library BIREME interface (in English, Spanish or Portuguese) or via this website through their institution. In addition, all residents of countries in the World Bank’s list of low-income economies (countries with a gross national income (GNI) per capita of less that $1000) have free one-click access to all Cochrane reviews, including Haiti. During this time, Wiley have also made country-wide free access available to the Dominican Republic and Panama.
Contact: Mike Clarke (mclarke@cochrane.ac.uk), Director of the UK Cochrane Centre, for more information or to suggest other topics.
We recommend selecting the PDF version if you do not hold a licence to The Cochrane Library, so that you may view the Standard PDF free of charge.
