DESCRIPTION
Clinical outcome assessments (COAs), such as patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) measures, observer-reported outcome measures (ObsRO), and performance outcome (PerfO) assessments, are used to quantify meaningful aspects of health, including how people are feeling, functioning, or surviving. COAs play an important role in evaluating the clinical benefit and/or risk of a medical product being studied in a clinical trial. This introductory course is designed to familiarize participants with the 4 types of COAs and how they are utilized in the regulatory environment. We will also discuss types of evidence needed to support use of an existing COA, and how researchers modify or develop COAs for a specific use case.
This is an entry level course which assumes only a passing familiarity with COAs.
