Abstract
Background:
Students 4 Best Evidence (S4BE) is an online community for students interested in evidence-based health care, with the purpose of helping students to learn more about evidence-based practice and the concepts involved. S4BE aims to involve students from school age to university through relevant, useful resources as well as being a space for them to communicate their knowledge and interact with fellow students. S4BE was introduced to Cochrane at the 2013 Colloquium in Quebec and formally launched in December 2013. S4BE is supported by Cochrane UK and partnered with 24 organizations, including Testing Treatments interactive English, IDEAL Collaboration, Sense About Science and Radboud University Medical Center in The Netherlands.
Presentation objectives:
We want to present a follow-up report on the community’s progress since the Cochrane Colloquium in 2013 and discuss how the community has grown and evolved with the help of the partners. We would also like to share ideas for the future of S4BE and how we can increase student engagement not only with S4BE but also with evidence-based health care as a whole.
Results:
Following the formal launch of S4BE in December 2013 and the subsequent sign-up of partner organizations, we would like to see even more students engaging with each other through the website and social media platforms as well as with partner organizations and the projects that have evolved from the partnerships.
Conclusions:
For Students 4 Best Evidence to be a key website for all students globally interested in evidence-based health care.
