The university extension project on Evidence-Based Health involved eight undergraduate medical students, who, after being trained to learn about the work of Cochrane and to identify systematic reviews that tend to answer their clinical questions, organized themselves to also guide the lay population present in the waiting room of the school clinic to identify the abstract in plain language present in the Cochrane reviews. We identified that it would be easier to orient if the Cochrane Library application was up to date.
