In December of 2010, Steven Goodman, MD, MHS, PhD, Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, helped to organize a conference on Methodological Challenges in Comparative Effectiveness Research. The conference, organized by the National Institutes of Health in cooperation with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), “will make use of case studies that pose difficult questions about what kinds of research, methods and analyses should be used to address limitations in current evidence for interventions and tests being examined by decision-making bodies. The cases will address a variety of important comparative effectiveness research questions facing U.S. researchers, care providers, health systems, and patients.”
