ENLIGHT: A consensus checklist for reporting laboratory-based studies on the non-visual effects of light in humans.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is no consensus on reporting light characteristics in studies investigating non-visual responses to light. This project aimed to develop a reporting checklist for laboratory-based investigations on the impact of light on non-visual physiology.

Methods

A four-step modified Delphi process (three questionnaire-based feedback rounds and one face-to-face group discussion) involving international experts was conducted to reach consensus on the items to be included in the checklist. Following the consensus process, the resulting checklist was tested in a pilot phase with independent experts.

Findings

An initial list of 61 items related to reporting light-based interventions was condensed to a final checklist containing 25 items, based upon consensus among ex
