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.
