Standard protocols are developed through a collaborative process involving experts from various fields, including epidemiologists, statisticians, clinicians, and public health officials. The development process typically includes:
Literature Review: Reviewing existing research and guidelines. Stakeholder Consultation: Engaging with relevant stakeholders to gather input and feedback. Pilot Testing: Conducting pilot studies to test and refine the protocol. Peer Review: Subjecting the protocol to peer review to ensure its rigor and validity.
