Have you or someone you know well experienced socioeconomic disadvantage during school years? Your input is needed on a review considering school feeding programs for people with socioeconomic disadvantage during school years.

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on school feeding programs for people with socioeconomic disadvantage during school years?

I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review, “School feeding programs for improving the physical and psychological health of school children experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage”.

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, socioeconomic disadvantage during school years), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested in whether the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and if it feels relevant for those experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage, 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!
