In conjunction with the World Evidence-Based Healthcare Day, Cochrane Malaysia is organizing a short story sharing and competition about “How has Cochrane evidence influenced your practice or health decision making?”. This event involves sharing a personal experience about how Cochrane evidence has influenced their practice or health decision making by writing a short story in the designated online message book.
The objectives of this short story sharing and competition are to:
- Increase people’s understanding about the importance of using scientific evidence or research in helping them make decisions about their healthcare.
- Highlight the experiences of someone (yourself, or someone you care for either as a carer or a healthcare professional) who, through accessing Cochrane evidence, found an answer to a healthcare question relevant to them or someone close to them.
- Celebrate the impact of Cochrane evidence in driving improvements in the quality and outcomes of healthcare locally.
This event is open to everyone. Participation in the competition is optional. The online message book will be officially shared to the public through our social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn) on 20 October 2025.
Prizes:
- Most Inspiring Story: RM100
