      ab: The article focuses on the importance of transparency in legal epidemiology, which studies the health effects of laws and legal practices. It highlights significant deficiencies in the reporting of legal measurement methods in public health research, as revealed by a review of 177 studies. The authors advocate for the development of formal reporting standards, known as "Standards for Legal Epidemiology Reporting (STLER)," to enhance transparency and improve the credibility of research findings. They emphasize that better reporting practices are essential for the validity of studies and for fostering collaboration among researchers, reviewers, and policymakers in the field of public health.
