An eight-step framework for designing, conducting, and reporting research with routinely collected health data.
Most guidance arrives at the end, when the study is already built. RIGOROUS works through the whole pipeline — from naming the research task, to defining the estimand, to judging whether the data can carry it — so the decisions that determine what a study can support get made while they are still decisions.
The framework asks different questions of each. This is the first thing the tool asks, and it decides everything that follows.
