Nutritional Epidemiology: Better research and for the right reasons

Date: May 16, 2018

Nutrition is a risk factor for health worldwide. Poor diets are among the leading risk factors for mortality worldwide and a concern for both high and low-and middle-income countries. Various actions are needed at different stages of
the research cycle. At Ghent University, we have been developing tools and guidelines to optimize the use of resources in nutritional epidemiology and to support researchers, including reporting guidelines for manuscript writing and a value oriented framework for research priority setting exercises. Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology – nutritional epidemiology (STROBE-nut) an extension of the STROBE reporting guideline, was developed in 2016. In this webinar, we will zoom in the value-oriented framework for research priority setting. The webinar will discuss the steps of how was the tool was developed (mapping review, definition of values, qualitative analysis and experts consultation round), and will explain how to use the tool including (considerations before use, time of use, instruction for use during the priority setting exercise). We will also call for action to implement the framework.
