New Journal Supplement on Comparative Effectiveness and PCOR Research Methods Available
A special supplement now available in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology provides proceedings from the fourth AHRQ-sponsored symposium on research methods for comparative effectiveness and patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR). The supplement, developed by AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program through the DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions about Effectiveness) Network, looks at research methods for comparative effectiveness research and PCOR studies. It examines the methodological work that illuminates contributors to differences inefficacy and effectiveness results. Select to access each of the 18 manuscripts for free from AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program website
Executive Summary – Jul. 11, 2013
Fourth Symposium on Comparative Effectiveness Research Methods: From Efficacy to Effectiveness
In June 2012, AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, through the DEcIDE Network, sponsored its fourth symposium on research methods for comparative effectiveness research and patient-centered outcomes research studies. The symposium examined the methodological work that serves to illuminate the mechanisms contributing to differences that might be observed between results from randomized clinical trials of treatments (efficacy) and observational studies of treatments outside of controlled research environments (effectiveness).
Presenters at the symposium submitted manuscripts for independent peer review and publication in a journal supplement of the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology. Below are links to each article. A printed copy of the supplement can be ordered from the AHRQ Publications Clearinghouse by calling toll free 800-358-9295 or emailing AHRQpubs@ahrq.hhs.gov. Please refer to AHRQ publication number OM13-0049, when ordering.
