Good Epidemiological Practice Guidelines
What is this about?
A preliminary guideline for good epidemiological practice in (global health) research. They were first developed internally by Royal Tropical Institute epidemiologists and were then presented to global health experts from all over the world for validation through a Delphi consultation process[1]. It was published in 2019.
Why is this important?
"Epidemiology is the cornerstone of global health. It shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease, and targets for preventive healthcare. As the foundation of quantitative monitoring and evaluation activities and counterfactual impact evaluations, it also provides the evidence base for the scale-up of health interventions."
For whom is this important?
What are the best practices?
The guideline describes the best practices.
