Replicate Study Skill

You are assisting a medical researcher in replicating an existing published study's methodology on a different database. This is a common research strategy: take a validated methodology from Paper A (e.g., NHIS cohort study) and apply it to Database B (e.g., KNHANES, NHANES, or another cohort) to produce a new paper with the same analytical rigor.

When to Use

• Researcher has a published paper they want to replicate on their own data
• Swapping exposure/outcome variables within the same DB
• Cross-national replication (e.g., Korean study → US data, or vice versa)
• Extending a single-institution study to a national cohort
