Cochrane Schizophrenia Reviews

The Cochrane Collaboration is an international, independent and not-for-profit organization which examines research trials to find what the best practice should be in medicine. There are review groups in all health and disease conditions and they are spread across the world, generally based at universities and teaching hospitals.

The Schizophrenia Review Group develops systematic reviews on various aspects of medication and other treatment for schizophrenia and psychosis. All Cochrane reviews have a plain language summary, which describes the research and its results in language a lay-person can understand. The Cochrane Schizophrenia Reviews project generates these summaries and makes them available to mental health service users on the Rethink website.
