Improving the Reporting of Primary Care Research: Consensus Reporting Items for Studies in Primary Care—the CRISP Statement

Consensus Reporting Items for Studies in Primary Care reporting item Checklist and Instructions.

CRISP = Consensus Reporting Items for Studies in Primary Care; D = discussion; I = introduction; M = methods; N = no; NA = not applicable, R = results; Y = yes.

Instructions: (1) The CRISP Checklist aids researchers in meeting readers’ needs by including content that our primary care research community feels is important for the validity, quality, and usefulness of primary care research reports. Authors and editors make final decisions. (2) Primary care research involves a wide variety of methods, study designs, topics, and settings; thus, not all items apply to all studies. Please respond to each item but note if it is not applicable for your study. If an item is missing from your report but applies to your study, simply note that and provide some brief explanation of why it is not included. (3) Authors should also use other reporting guidelines appropriate for their study and report. Some CRISP items may overlap with other guidelines.
