****Short Course: Economic Evaluation in Clinical Trials, 20th-22nd April
2009, University of Glasgow.****
The Health Economics Appraisals Team (HEAT) at the University of Glasgow,
together with researchers in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the
University of Pennsylvania is please to announce a new three day course on
conducting economic evaluations in clinical trials.
This course will be based around the recently published book 'Economic
Evaluation in Clinical Trials' by Henry Glick, Jalpa Doshi and colleagues, part of
the Handbooks in Health Economic Evaluation series
(see: http://www.oup.com/uk/catalogue/?ci=9780198529972
<http://www.oup.com/uk/catalogue/?ci=9780198529972> )
Lectures and hands-on workshops (using STATA) will cover the basics of
economic evaluation (analysis of cost and outcome data) and some of the
more advanced issues surrounding cost-effectiveness analysis (uncertainty
and heterogeneity).
The course is suitable for people undertaking health economic evaluations in
academia, consultancies and industry, as well as those involved in the design
and analysis of clinical trials (statisticians and health service researchers).
The course will provide a practical guide to conducting economic evaluations
alongside clinical trials. It will cover issues and techniques related to the
collection of both cost and outcome data, the analysis of these data, as well
as a framework for reporting and interpreting economic reports from clinical
trials.
A range of supporting materials, examples, exercises and solutions - including a
copy of the book - will be provided to participants.
