Catalogue of Bias

Catalogue of Bias

The Catalogue of Bias Collaboration started in 2017 with the aim to better understand the persistent presence, diversity, and impact of biases that impact health care research.

It lists biases - 49 different types identified to date! - and for each one gives a background definition, an example, preventitive steps to counter the bias, and a list of references.
