  BRIDGE Mentorship Initiative

  • Institute
  • Project

  The BRIDGE Mentorship Initiative is based on the BRIDGE guidelines for good epidemiological practice in epidemiology. The pilot programme has been initiated in partnership with Institute of Tropical Medicine in Belgium. Our goal is for the initiative to bring researchers conducting epidemiological studies around the globe together. Recent developments in research integrity led by researchers […]

• Predicting communities with hightuberculosis case-finding efficiency tooptimise resource allocation in Pakistan: comparing the performance of anegative binomial spatial lag modelwith a Bayesian machine-learningmodel

  • Institute
  • Publication

  Despite progress in tuberculosis (TB) treatment coverage in past years, an estimated 183000 people with TB may not have been diagnosed in Pakistan in 2022. Therefore, there is a need to develop models which help to steer active case finding (ACF) towards populations with a high probability of having undetected TB. The aim of this […]

• Completeness of TB notification: inventory studies and capture-recapture analyses, six European Union countries, 2014 to 2016

  • Institute
  • Publication

  In 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) published the Action Framework towards TB elimination in low-incidence countries, and in 2016, the WHO Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe) published the Roadmap to implement the tuberculosis action plan for the WHO European Region 2016-2020: Towards ending TB and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. They outline blueprints to carry out the […]

  The work of health researchers is vitally important to the safety and well-being of people around the world, with the COVID-19 crisis making that all too clear. However, health researchers are facing a crisis of their own, a crisis of trust. It’s fueled partly by the proliferation of social media, the politicization of data, and […]

• BRIDGE – Bridging Research Integrity and Global Health Epidemiology

  • Institute
  • Project

  The BRIDGE guidelines are good epidemiological practice (GEP) guidelines specifically for global health epidemiology. Why are specific GEP guidelines needed for global health? Research integrity and research fairness have gained considerable momentum in the past decade and have direct implications for global health epidemiology. Existing good epidemiological practice guidelines developed by national epidemiological associations lack […]
