The aim of this study was therefore to examine in depth why some people do not participate in the Danish CRCS program.

Commentary: collaborative systematic review may produce and share high-quality, comparative evidence more efficiently.

Systematic reviews are necessary to synthesize available evidence and inform clinical practice and health policy decisions. There has been an explosion of evidence available in many fields; this makes it challenging to keep evidence syntheses up to date and useful. Comparative effectiveness systematic reviews are informative; however, producing these often-large reviews bring intense time and resource demands.
