title: British Association for Sexual Health and HIV: framework for guideline development and assessment.
abstract: This article has been prepared by the Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) of the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) to specify the methodology BASHH requires for guideline development and the process of guideline evaluation by the CEG. This replaces the specifications for the development of UK guidelines on the management of sexually transmitted infections and closely related conditions previously published in this journal in 2004 and updated in 2005.
