Abstract
The 2022 Cochrane Lecture challenged Cochrane and its community to
enhance their equity efforts and presented specific issues needing
attention. We have created an actionable plan to address these
challenges. These include: 1. Setting priorities for reviews based on
health equity and global burden of disease 2. Advocate and support
initiatives to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in Cochrane 3.
Actively seek global representation in the governance of the Campbell
and Cochrane Health Equity Thematic Group We advocate for the inclusion
of health equity considerations in all Cochrane systematic reviews. To
achieve this, we need the cooperation of all those involved, such as
journal editors, funders, and researchers. We invite the global
community to work with us to address these equity gaps in research and
practice.
