Abstract
This Dr Cochrane clinical vignette is based on upon an Overview of Cochrane Reviews that was published in a previous issue of EvidenceโBased Child Health: Foisy M, Martin B, Domino F, Becker, L A. The Cochrane Library and the Treatment of Sore Throat in Children and Adolescents: An Overview of Reviews. EvidโBased Child Health 2011, 6: 6(3): 810โ823; and inspired by: Marcy SM. When a parent insists on antibiotics for a virus. Am Fam Physician 1999; 59(3): 687โ688.
Dr Cochrane is a unique selfโlearning experienceโthe integration of Cochrane evidence with a quirky fictional story and multipleโchoice questions provides readers with the opportunity to explore and understand the applicability of a Cochrane Review or Overview in a new way.
