ABSTRACT
The practice of prospectively registering the details of intervention studies in a public database or registry is gaining momentum across disciplines as a strategy for increasing the transparency, credibility, and accessibility of study findings. In this article, we consider five registries that may be relevant for registration of intervention studies in the field of prevention science ClinicalTrials.gov, the American Economic Association Registry of Randomized Controlled Trials (AEA RCT Registry), the Open Science Framework Preregistration (OSF Preregistration), the Registry for International Development Impact Evaluations (RIDIE), and the Registry of Efficacy and Effectiveness Studies (REES). We examine the five registries in terms of substantive focus, study designs, and contents of registry entries. We consider two paths forward for prospective registration of intervention studies in the field of prevention science Path A register all studies in ClinicalTrials.gov and Path B allow individual researchers to select the registry with the "best fit." Lastly, we consider how the field might begin to establish norms around registration.
