Emerg Infect Dis. 2019 Nov;25(11):2084-2087. doi: 10.3201/eid2511.180628.

Abstract

We describe a pilot of the Clinical REsearch During Outbreaks (CREDO) initiative, a training curriculum for researchers in epidemic-prone low- and middle-income countries who may respond to disease outbreaks. Participants reported improved confidence in their ability to conduct such research and overall satisfaction with the course structure, content, and training.

Keywords: CREDO; Clinical REsearch During Outbreaks; LMICs; capacity building; curriculum; epidemics; low- and middle-income countries; outbreaks; research design.
