Improving the reporting of health research involving design: a proposed guideline

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

► Design is being used more frequently in global health practice but is not reported on sufficiently for transparency, evaluability and wider dissemination.► Reporting guidelines are useful in improving the quality and quantity of dissemination of work in peer-reviewed literature for global health.► Building on available literature and current practice in design for global health, we present a reporting guideline that can be used by scholars and practitioners applying design in their work, and invite input on this work.► We present draft guidance which we recommend for reporting on design for global health in order to improve the evidence base for design in global health.
