Abstract

In order to facilitate the conduct and dissemination of high-quality systematic reviews in CAM further, three key issues were discussed at the Melbourne Cochrane Colloquium: (a) How to improve the overall methodological quality of CAM reviews in general, (b) how to improve the quality of Traditional Chinese Medicine reviews and trials; and (c) how to make the CAM reviews more accessible to the lay public throughout the world. A summary of each of these is presented.
