Table 2 Criteria used to select right-to-health indicators
Criterion | Definition |
|---|---|
Scientific robustness | Indicators are reliable (i.e., they provide stable results across various populations and circumstances) and valid (i.e., they measure what they are intended to measure) |
Usefulness | Indicators evaluate areas that need improvement and require prioritisation, or right-to-health principles, as opposed to what data are available |
Representativeness | Indicators are based on observed data as opposed to estimates from models that rely on assumptions |
Understandability | The measures are clear and understandable by policymakers |
Importance | Indicators reflect important elements of the right to health or a human rights-based approach to breast cancer |
