Abstract
This editorial accompanies a series of Cochrane Library Special Collections on the health of Indigenous peoples in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, focusing on diabetes, fetal alcohol syndrome disorders , and suicide prevention . Another editorial provides an overview: Improving health outcomes for Indigenous peoples: what are the challenges?
Cochrane Reviews can provide valuable evidence to support an accountable decision‐making process to improve Indigenous people's health. Such a process needs to consider community values, preferences, local needs, and resource use, as well as provide opportunities for feedback and debate.
