STROBE

Strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology

WHAT IS STROBE?

STROBE stands for an international, collaborative initiative of epidemiologists,
methodologists, statisticians, researchers and journal editors involved in the
conduct and dissemination of observational studies, with the common aim
of STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology.

For STROBE-related entries in PubMed click here.


AIMS AND USE OF STROBE

Incomplete and inadequate reporting of research hampers the assessment of the
strengths and weaknesses of the studies reported in the medical literature.
Readers need to know what was planned (and what was not), what was done, what
was found, and what the results mean. Recommendations on the reporting of
studies that are endorsed by leading medical journals can improve the quality of
reporting.

Observational research comprises several study designs and many topic areas. We
aimed to establish a checklist of items that should be included in articles
reporting such research – the STROBE Statement. We considered it reasonable to
initially restrict the recommendations to the three main analytical designs that
are used in observational research: cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional
studies. We want to provide guidance on how to report observational research
well. Our recommendations are not prescriptions for designing or conducting
studies. Also, the checklist is not an instrument to evaluate the quality of
observational research.


FURTHER USE

The STROBE initiative should be seen as an ongoing process, with future
revisions of the recommendations based on comments, critique and new evidence.
We welcome translations into other languages and extensions to other
observational study designs, for example nested case-control studies, and
specific topic areas, for example, genetic and molecular epidemiology.

Note: We ask anyone intending to use the STROBE Statement for further
extensions, translations or other STROBE-related work to contact the
coordinating group through this website first. This will allow to coordinate
efforts and to avoid duplication. The authors of the original STROBE
articles hold the copyright. Please, contact us if you wish to re-publish STROBE
material in additional journals, books or other media.

All documents and publications produced by the STROBE Initiative are open-access
and available for download on this website.
