Regression Methods for Health Economic Evaluation
Location: York, UK
Dates: 24 - 26 March 2010; with optional half-day introduction to Stata 23th March
The Centre for Health Economics at the University of York is running a three-day course on Regression Methods for Health Economic Evaluation. The course is now in its third edition and it will be held from 24 - 26 March 2010 at the University of York.
The course is a mixture of taught modules and practical exercises. It is intended for people currently undertaking health economic evaluations within the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, consultancy, academia or the health service who wish to learn how to use regression methods to analyse individual patient-level cost, health outcome and cost-effectiveness data.
Participants are expected to have a basic familiarity with the concepts of cost-effectiveness analysis, descriptive statistics and regression methods.
The course will cover the use of regression methods for health economic evaluation of both randomised and non-randomised data. In particular, the course will focus on the use of regression methods to analyse different types of individual patient-level data. Detailed information about the topics covered can be found on the course’s webpage below.
Throughout the course computer-based practical exercises will be used to show how the methods can be applied in the statistical package Stata. A half day introduction to Stata and the commands that will be used on the course is available on 23rd March for those less familiar with the software.
Further details and booking information is available from http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/che/training/regression.htm
Limited campus accommodation is available on request. Please book early to avoid disappointment.
We hope that you will be interested in applying for the course or that you may know of others within your organisation who might be interested in attending.
