Have you or someone you know well experienced hypertension and tried a weight-reducing diet? Or do you currently have hypertension and have considered dietary changes? Your input is needed on a review considering weight-reducing diets for people with hypertension.

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

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on weight-reducing diets for people with high blood pressure?

I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review a Cochrane systematic review with the title “Long-term effects of weight-reducing diets in people with hypertension.”

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, hypertension), 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 hypertension, 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!
