Table 1 Ranking criteria and questions for infant and young child feeding in emergencies research prioritisation
From: Research priorities for improving infant and young child feeding in humanitarian emergencies
Criteria | Question |
|---|---|
Answerability | Would you say that a study to answer this research question is possible (e.g., feasible, ethical, sufficient statistical power achievable and well defined endpoints/outcomes)? |
Operational relevance | Would you say that the outcome of this research question will bring new crucial evidence for improvement of one or several of the following components: assessment of needs, strategy and programme planning, programme implementation, monitoring and evaluation? |
Disease burden reduction and prevention | Would you say that interventions arising from the research would eventually contribute to a significant prevention or reduction in mortality, morbidity and malnutrition resulting from poor Infant and Young Child Feeding in emergencies in the short and long term, given the humanitarian context? |
Originality | Would you say that the study will generate novel findings or that the methods to answer the research question will be original? |
