Economic Evaluations in Clinical Trials
Location: Glasgow, UK
Dates 30th June till 2nd July 2010
The Health Economic Appraisals Team (HEAT) at the University of Glasgow, together with researchers in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Centre for Health Economics at Monash University will again run a three day workshop 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)
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.
The cost of the 3 day course is £950 for public/academic, and £1,480 for those from the commercial sector. Fees are fully inclusive of tuition, lunch, course dinner, and course materials but do not include accommodation. VAT is not payable.
