The Centre for Reviews and Dissemination (CRD) is a health services research centre based at the University of York, England. CRD was established in January 1994, and aims to provide research-based information for evidence-based medicine. CRD carries out systematic reviews and meta-analyses of healthcare interventions, and disseminates the results of research to decision-makers in the NHS. CRD produces three databases: * Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE) * NHS Economic Evaluation Database (NHS EED) * Health Technology Assessment Database (HTA Database) These are freely available from the CRD database website () and as part of the Cochrane Library. CRD also publishes a number of regular reports including ''Effective Health Care'' and ''Effectiveness Matters''. CRD is funded by the UK Department of Health's NHS Research and Development Programme, as well as from a number of other sources. ==History== CRD was established in 1994. Along with the UK Cochrane Centre, the Centre was originally created as part of the Information Systems Strategy of the NHS Research and Development Programme. The original aims of the centre were: * To carry out and commission systematic reviews of research findings on the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of health care relevant to the NHS * To improve the accessibility of these and other research reviews by maintaining and updating an international register of research reviews and providing a single access point to this information for enquirers in the NHS * To provide simple and effective mechanisms by which the results of systematic reviews on the clinical effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and acceptability of health service interventions can be communicated rapidly to relevant audiences Professor Trevor Sheldon established and directed CRD from 1994 to 1998. He was followed as director by Professor Jos Kleijnen from 1998 to 2005. The current director is Professor Lesley Stewart who took up appointment in 2006. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Centre for Reviews and Dissemination」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
