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·林德计划：2003 年至 2018 年促进对治疗主张进行批判性思考的书籍、网站和数据库

詹姆斯·林德计划 (JLI) 是由伊恩·查尔默斯 (Iain Chalmers) 和帕特里夏·阿特金森 (Patricia Atkinson) 发起的一项工作计划，旨在推动更好的研究以改善医疗保健。该项目于 2003 年至 2018 年伊恩·查尔默斯 (Iain Chalmers) 退休期间运行。在其成立的 15 年中，JLI 与本文作者和其他人合作开发了三项工作。第一个工作链涉及开发一个供患者、护理人员和临床医生使用的流程，以确定共同的研究优先事项——詹姆斯林德联盟。第二部分是一系列文章、会议、奖项和其他进展，以提高人们对研究中大量可避免浪费以及减少浪费的方法的认识。第三部分涉及使用各种方法来促进公众和专业人士更好地理解研究在临床实践和公共卫生中的重要性。JLI 关于前两个主题的工作已在之前发布的报告中讨论过。本文总结了 JLI 成立 15 年来在演讲、召开研讨会、撰写书籍以及创建网站和数据库等方面的参与，以促进对治疗主张的批判性思考。在其 15 年的生命中，詹姆斯林德计划与其他人合作创建免费的教学和学习资源，帮助儿童和成人学习如何识别有关治疗效果的不可信声明。这些资源已被翻译成二十多种语言，但在支持其吸收和更广泛使用方面还有很多工作要做。
