The Comparing Multiple Interventions Methods Group (CMIMG) has received funding from the Cochrane Methods Innovation Fund to set up three working groups to address specific issues related to the use of Cochrane Overviews or Cochrane Intervention Reviews to compare multiple interventions.

Working Group 1 (tasked with addressing fundamental issues associated with the initiation and logistics of undertaking, publishing and maintaining reviews of multiple interventions) held a half-day meeting in conjunction with the Cochrane Mid-Year Meetings in Paris in April 2012.  The minutes, background papers and slides from that session are now available on CMIMG.Cochrane.org.
