Patient / Public (consumer) Reviewer Needed for Calcium & Pregnancy Reviews

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

The Cochrane Editorial Service is looking for two PP (formerly consumer) reviewers to review two Calcium and Pregnancy-related systematic reviews.  These reviews are part of a new, fast-track editorial service, especially for reviews that have been commissioned for use in guideline development.  If you have personal experience - yourself, a family member, someone you've cared for - with calcium supplementation in pregnancy (especially for hypertensive disorders), and are willing to help us ensure that our abstracts, plain language summary, and discussion sections are written adequately for the public to access, understand, and use for decision-making, we'd love to add you to the peer-review team.This review is not yet submitted, but we are lining up our reviewers beforehand given the expedited timeline.  More information will be provided to chosen reviewers.Titles:

Ideal applicant

We are looking for a patient / public (formerly consumer) reviewer for these two systematic reviews on calcium supplementation in pregnancy for prevention of hypertensive outcomes. We need someone with personal experience - themselves, someone they care for, or other related experience to review the abstract, discussion, introduction, and summary to ensure it is understandable and useful to patients and the public. We will be selecting two - one for each review. This is an expedited timeline because these reviews will be used for global guideline development.
