Researchers must work toward ensuring validity throughout the research process, but we also should ensure that our resulting outcomes are specified to appropriately inform and enable decision-making by the end-users. Given the scope and diversity of topics addressed by veterinary researchers, the potential beneficiaries or stakeholders of our research also varies. Stakeholders or end-users may include veterinary practitioners, other researchers, livestock owners, \u201cpet parents,\u201d government officials, corporate entities, or the general public in the case of public health or food security and safety issues. Current research in animal agriculture provides an opportunity to consider research outcomes in a sustainability framework which concurrently values social, economic, and environment impacts of animal health and management decisions. In companion animals, contemporary issues of affordability and access to care, quality of life, or compliance effects on efficacy, also extend the spectrum of relevant research outcomes. In these cases, traditional measures of animal health, such as morbidity, mortality, or weight gain, may not be the most relevant for the end-users. Furthermore, if studies are not designed and analyzed with well-defined primary outcomes that are informed by stakeholders\u2019 values, but rather post-hoc considerations of these values are made based on indirect or surrogate measures, there is the potential to incorporate error and bias into our conclusions and the end-users\u2019 decision-making processes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2024.1444023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,11]],"date-time":"2024-09-11T12:53:25Z","timestamp":1726059205000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Aligning valid research outcomes with stakeholder values\u2014what do they need for decision-making?"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"David G.","family":"Renter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan M.","family":"Sargeant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annette M.","family":"O\u2019Connor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Audrey","family":"Ruple","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8594","DOI":"10.3168\/jds.2022-22015","article-title":"Invited review: maximizing value and minimizing waste in clinical trial research in dairy cattle: selecting interventions and outcomes to build an evidence base","volume":"105","author":"Sargeant","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Dairy Sci"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1402981","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2024.1402981","article-title":"What question are we trying to answer?
