Reporting Practices in Epidemiology Studies that Increase Research Translation Potential

On this page:

  • Overview
Using examples from EPA Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Toxicologic Reviews, this presentation will explore how consistent and complete reporting of epidemiology study methods and findings increases the utility of epidemiologic evidence to regulatory bodies that assess the human health impact of environmental chemicals. Study details that are frequently underreported will be discussed, such as exposure measurement methods and quality control steps, study population recruitment and participation information, and rationales for identifying potential confounders

Impact/Purpose

Under-reporting of study methods and details can lead to low confidence ratings during study evaluation in a systematic review. The purpose of this presentation is to communicate with researchers and identify reporting practices that increase the utility of epidemiology studies in health assessments.
