Sex/Gender Cochrane Corner

Sex/Gender Cochrane Corner

The Sex/Gender Cochrane Corner highlights reviews from the Cochrane Library that consider sex/gender. We will showcase these monthly below in the "featured reviews" section. For more information about considering sex/gender in systematic reviews, see our resources for review authors or read about our Sex/Gender Methods Group.

The goal of this Cochrane Corner is to bring awareness of sex- and gender-based analyses to the Cochrane community.

This work was initiated as a collaboration with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Gender and Health (IGH).
