Throughout 2022, we will continue to add publications to our CIDG and READ-It websites regularly. Do continue to check our websites for updates and follow us on Twitter.
The CIDG editorial base is located at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in Liverpool, UK. Over 600 authors from some 52 countries contribute to the preparation of the Cochrane Reviews. They are supported by an international team of Editors, each with topic or methodological expertise. The CIDG’s main areas of work are on determination of the effects of interventions on the prevention or treatment infectious diseases of relevance to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
