The Campbell and Cochrane Equity Methods Group is registered with the Campbell and the Cochrane Collaborations. Both the Cochrane and Campbell Collaborations are international, not-for-profit, and independent organizations.
The Cochrane Collaboration's purpose is to ensure that relevant, accurate, and current research about health interventions is available worldwide. To meet this objective, Cochrane contributors conduct and distribute systematic reviews. Similarly, the Campbell Collaboration produces reviews with an aim to "help people make well-informed decisions about the effects of interventions in the social, behavioral and educational arenas."
