The James Lind Initiative (JLI) was a work programme inaugurated by Iain Chalmers and Patricia Atkinson to press for better research for better health care. It ran between 2003 and 2018, when Iain Chalmers retired. During the 15 years of its existence, the JLI developed three strands of work in collaboration with the authors of this paper, and with others.
The first work strand involved developing a process for use by patients, carers and clinicians to identify shared priorities for research - the James Lind Alliance. The second strand was a series of articles, meetings, prizes and other developments to raise awareness of the massive amounts of avoidable waste in research, and of ways of reducing it. The third strand involved using a variety of approaches to promote better public and professional understanding of the importance of research in clinical practice and public health. JLI work on the first two themes has been addressed in previously published reports. This paper summarises JLI involvement during the 15 years of its existence in giving talks, convening workshops, writing books, and creating websites and databases to promote critical thinking about treatment claims.
During its 15-year life, the James Lind Initiative worked collaboratively with others to create free teaching and learning resources to help children and adults learn how to recognise untrustworthy claims about the effects of treatments. These resources have been translated in more than twenty languages, but much more could be done to support their uptake and wider use.
詹姆斯·林德倡议（JLI）是由伊恩·查尔默斯和帕特里夏·阿特金森发起的一项工作计划，旨在推动开展更好的研究以提供更好的医疗保健。该倡议在2003年至2018年伊恩·查尔默斯退休期间开展。在其存在的15年里，JLI与本文作者及其他人员合作开展了三个工作方向。
第一个工作方向是开发一个供患者、护理人员和临床医生使用的流程，以确定研究的共同优先事项——詹姆斯·林德联盟。第二个方向是一系列文章、会议、奖项及其他活动，以提高人们对研究中大量可避免浪费的认识以及减少浪费的方法。第三个方向是采用多种方法促进公众和专业人员更好地理解研究在临床实践和公共卫生中的重要性。JLI在前两个主题上的工作已在先前发表的报告中提及。本文总结了JLI在其存在的15年里在开展讲座、举办研讨会、撰写书籍以及创建网站和数据库以促进对治疗主张的批判性思考方面所做的工作。
在其15年的存续期间，詹姆斯·林德倡议与其他各方合作创建了免费的教学资源，以帮助儿童和成年人学习如何识别有关治疗效果的不可信主张。这些资源已被翻译成二十多种语言，但要支持其采用和更广泛的使用，还有很多工作要做。
