International Child Health resources

Now in its eighth edition, the new Randomised Trials in Child Health in Developing Countries booklet has been published - click here for the pdf.

This project is jointly supported by WHO, AusAID and many international partners; the booklet summarizes some of the latest research on child health in developing countries: evidence derived from all the randomized trials published over the last year.  The aim is to make this information widely available to paediatricians, child health nurses, midwives, researchers, students and administrators in places where up-to-date health information is hard to find.  It is hoped that such information will be helpful in reviewing treatment guidelines, clinical practice and public health approaches, and in teaching about paediatrics and evidence-based medicine.

Previous editions of the booklet and further reviews of WHO guidelines are available at www.ichrc.org

If you have a laser printer, the document may be printed out as a small booklet form to save trees.  After clicking on “Print” go to “Properties” and select: “Print to both sides”; Booklet layout “Left edge binding”; Pages per sheet “two pages per sheet”.  Printing this way will use only 38 sheets.  Then fold the A-4 pages in half to form a booklet.

Please feel free to make as many copies as you like or pass this document on to anyone who may find it useful.
