Please give additional activity details (i.e., reach, impact, duration, return on investment) Cochrane South Africa recently organized a hands-on workshop on evidence-based healthcare (EBHC) research methods for staff and postgraduate students at the University of Venda, Limpopo, South Africa. Hosted at the 2Ten Hotel from 18 March to 19 March 2025, this workshop aimed to provide participants with practical tools of Cochrane Systematic review methods that can be incorporated into their research activities. A total of 28 participants (in-person) attended the workshop, which covered all major components of conducting a Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis, such as formulating a research question, searching for articles, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, statistical analysis, and a meta-analysis primer. Additionally, participants were also introduced to the structure, vision, and mission of the Cochrane Collaboration. A key feature of this workshop was the interactive sessions where participants were encouraged to work on their research questions and to ultimately present their work for constructive feedback from peers, based on EBHC methods. The workshop was well-received and deepened the participants' understanding of EBHC methods whilst creating a supportive learning environment.
