Abstract:
Three principles can improve epidemiologic studies (1) Conduct open scientific review of research protocols and final reports, (2) Disseminate study results to all appropriate parties, and (3) Incorporate new scientific methods into the research and utilize expertise from other disciplines. The procedures we describe are used within the Industrywide Studies Branch of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to implement these principles.
