GEP/GPPs require many of the same credibility-related features as GLPs: a detailed research protocol based on a stated hypothesis before the study starts; data collection, analysis, and storage procedures; and quality control measures.
The resulting flexibility was a golden opportunity for experimentation; the project's emphasis on quality data collection, analysis and monitoring, and constant communication with stakeholders allowed the partners to identify and disseminate successful innovations.
Each group specializes in different aspects of antimalarial drug resistance and works collaboratively to develop customized tools and services designed to facilitate quality-assured data collection, analysis, and reporting.
The seven qualitative studies were high quality with regard to data collection, analysis and reporting; however most lacked a clear theoretical framework; did not address interviewer bias; or provide a rationale for sample size.
J.W.V. aided in data collection, analysis and manuscript preparation.
M.-S.K. performed data collection, analysis, and wrote the manuscript.
A detailed description of HELENA-cross-sectional study (HELENA-CSS) in terms of sampling and recruitment approaches, standardisation and harmonisation processes, data collection, analysis strategies and quality-control activities has been published elsewhere (Moreno et al., 2008).
The role of each RC in the OPII study was to create and participate in the implementation strategy and to participate in workgroups that addressed issues such as implementation, data collection and quality, analysis, and publication.
Through communication with other users and feedback received by experts, they will familiarise themselves further with the inquiry process, robust methodologies for data collection, and analysis and assessment of the quality of contributions.
QL, MRL and GXZ participated in data collection, data analysis, and data quality checking and results interpretation.
