SEPLINE: Socioeconomic Position in Epidemiological Research—A National Guideline on Danish Registry Data

The guideline provides a structured framework for conducting socioeconomic epidemiological research using Danish registry data, offering specific information on data sources and recommendations about variable selection, measurement timing, and data handling. While tailored to Danish registry-based cancer research, the guideline's methodological principles have broader applicability to other diseases and international contexts. By emphasizing transparency, theoretical grounding, and methodological rigor, SEPLINE aims to advance the study of social determinants of health. Researchers are encouraged to use the guideline as a relevant starting point and adapt it to their specific study populations and research questions, ensuring its relevance across diverse settings.
