Effect of amphetamines on blood pressure: Do you or a loved one been affected by an increase in blood pressure while taking oral amphetamines? Your input is needed on a review considering the effect of amphetamines on blood pressure

Skills / interests: Consumer (public, patient, carer) input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on adverse effects such as higher blood pressure or higher heart rate for people taking amphetamines? I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic protocol “Effect of amphetamines on blood pressure"

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, increased blood pressure or increased heart rate), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant for those experiencing adverse reactions to amphetamines, such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making.  

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers. 

Thank you in advance for considering!
