Recruitment and Engagement Most aged between 26-35 years 59% work in a health related area 21% are students (health and non-health) 16% are ‘consumers’ (patients, carers, public) Data as of 26 Oct 2016 Survey of sign-up since launch of new platform
Cochrane Crowd “Feels like something useful you can do if you have just a few minutes and can't get into something bigger workwise. It’s great being part of the team” “I like that I can make a small contribution to Cochrane from my own home, on my own schedule” “I hope to be able to contribute as much as I can in college and in my life after graduation, but I’d like to do something now. When I saw that I can work directly with Cochrane I was really excited” “It's fun, and is actually useful.”
