The book Testing Treatments has been translated into 15 languages with more coming soon.

Testing Treatments was written to address a fundamental healthcare question: ‘How do we ensure that research into medical treatments best meets the needs of patients?’  Because research often fails to answer this question, and because many treatments are not based on sound evidence, the authors set out to promote better and more critical public evaluation of the effects of medical treatments.

Testing Treatments is widely used as a learning and teaching aid. The book is for anyone who wants to understand better how treatments can be tested fairly, why it is important to do this, and how anyone interested in health and health care can play a part in the process of testing treatments.

You can access the book in all 15 languages for free on the Cochrane Training website
