The LEADING Guideline
The LEADING Guideline
LEADING stands for Longitudinal design, Expert Evaluation, Appropriate data, and Validity — a set of 20 reporting standards for studies using Expert Panel, Best-Estimate Diagnosis, and Longitudinal Expert All Data (LEAD) methods.
These assessment methods involve experts reviewing several sources of longitudinal information to achieve best-estimate assessments.
This guideline helps researchers report best-estimate assessment methods in a comprehensive and structured way.
