GRACE Checklist

Based on existing literature describing the appropriate conduct and reporting of observational CER, including the GRACE Principles, the GRACE Checklist will provide a method to evaluate the quality and usefulness of observational CER for decision-making.

Following a Delphi process to facilitate consensus decision-making, experts with extensive experience in the conduct and utilization of observational CER from academia, government agencies, and professional societies will drive the checklist development process. After several rounds of feedback and revision, the checklist will undergo feasibility and validation testing prior to finalization.

We are currently seeking testers to apply the checklist to a set of observational CER studies as part of our validation process. If you are interested, or would like more information, please contact us at gracecoordinator@graceprinciples.org.
