Checklist for One Health Epidemiological Reporting of Evidence (COHERE)

Abstract

One Health is defined as the intersection and integration of knowledge regarding humans, animals, and the environment, yet as the One Health scientific literature expands, there is considerable heterogeneity of approach and quality of reporting in One Health studies. In addition, many researchers who publish such studies do not include or integrate data from all three domains of human, animal, and environmental health. This points to a critical need to unify guidelines for One Health studies. This report details the Checklist for One Health Epidemiological Reporting of Evidence (COHERE) to guide the design and publication format of future One Health studies. COHERE was developed by a core writing team and international expert review group that represents multiple disciplines, including human medicine, veterinary medicine, public health, allied professionals, clinical laboratory science, epidemiology, the social sciences, ecohealth and environmental health. The twin aims of the COHERE standards are to 1) improve the quality of reporting of observational or interventional epidemiological studies that collect and integrate data from humans, animals and/or vectors, and their environments; and 2) promote the concept that One Health studies should integrate knowledge from these three domains. The 19 standards in the COHERE checklist address descriptions of human populations, animal populations, environmental assessment, spatial and temporal relationships of data from the three domains, integration of analyses and interpretation, and inclusion of expertise in the research team from disciplines related to human health, animal health, and environmental health.

Molecular allergen profiling in horses by microarray reveals Fag e 2 from buckwheat as a frequent sensitizer

“…The importance of comparing human and animal allergic diseases and causative allergens has recently been acknowledged by the establishment of an interest group for Comparative and Veterinary Allergology in the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI). In fact, comparative allergology ideally fits into the “One Health Concept,” which relies on three main pillars: human health, animal health and environmental health …”

Antibiotic Use, Disposal and Awareness of Human Health Risk Associated With Consuming Antibiotics in Groundwater Among People Living in Informal Settlements of Kisumu, Kenya

“…Antibiotics pose a threat to human and animal health as the effect as a result of involuntary exposure are not clear. This interaction of the humans, animals in the environment comprise a complex interact otherwise referred to as the One-Health triad [11]. Any pollutant that may be present in the environment require attention to ensure protection of the components of both humans and animals.…”

“…Knowledge of health effects as a result of exposure to antibiotics through drinking water is limited in the general population [10]. Prioritizing human health should be synchronized with protection of animal health, as well as that of the environment since a complex interaction among the three occur in an interaction otherwise referred to as the One-Health triad [11]. A One-Health approach [12]to achieve optimal health for the humans, animals and the environment is key in addressing the looming global antibiotic resistance burden.…”

Happiness as a strength in the promotion of adolescent and adult young health

“…Data used in this article is a cut-off from the observational quantitative study (21) , designated by +SaúdeFamalicão, a program aimed at promoting health in family transitions, adolescents and which is enrolled in the Center for Research in Technologies and Health services (Centro de Investigação em Tecnologias e Serviços de Saúde -CINTESIS). The study period was from 2013 to 2017, in Vila Nova de Famalicão (VNF), a municipality located in the north of Portugal.…”
