The speech-language-hearing sciences (SLHS) field relies on rigorous research to inform clinical practice and improve outcomes for individuals with communication, swallowing, and hearing needs. However, a significant challenge in our field is the lack of accessibility, transparency, and reproducibility of this research. Such insufficiencies limit the generalizability and impact of study findings, particularly intervention research, as it becomes difficult to replicate and use the interventions in both clinical practice and research. In this tutorial, we highlight one particularly useful tool, the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR; Hoffmann et al., 2014) checklist, which researchers can follow to improve reproducibility practices in SLHS.
We provide an overview and guide on using the TIDieR checklist with a practical example of its implementation. Additionally, we discuss the potential benefits of increased transparency and reproducibility for SLHS, including improved clinical outcomes and increased confidence in the effectiveness of interventions. We also provide specific recommendations for scientists, journal reviewers, editors, and editorial boards as they seek to adopt, implement, and encourage using the TIDieR checklist.
言语-语言-听力科学（SLHS）领域依赖于严谨的研究，以指导临床实践并改善有沟通、吞咽和听力需求的个体的结果。然而，我们领域的一个重大挑战是，研究的可及性、透明度和可重复性不足。这些缺陷限制了研究结果的普遍性和影响力，特别是干预研究，因为难以在临床实践和研究中复制和使用干预措施。在本教程中，我们重点介绍了一个特别有用的工具，即干预描述和复制模板（TIDieR；Hoffmann 等人，2014 年）清单，研究人员可以遵循该清单来提高 SLHS 的可重复性实践。
我们提供了一个概述，并指导如何使用 TIDieR 清单，并提供了一个实际示例来展示其实施过程。此外，我们讨论了增加 SLHS 的透明度和可重复性的潜在益处，包括改善临床结果和增加对干预措施有效性的信心。我们还为科学家、期刊审稿人、编辑和编辑委员会提供了具体建议，以帮助他们采用、实施和鼓励使用 TIDieR 清单。
