Learn how to quantify meaningful aspects of health with this course on clinical outcome assessments
Clinical outcome assessments (COAs) play an important role in evaluating the clinical benefit and risk of a medical product being studied in a clinical trial.
Enroll in this course to:
- Understand the value of measuring a patient-reported health status.
- Recognize different types of clinical outcome assessments (COAs).
- Gain knowledge of what each COA encompasses.
- Understand the properties of a good COA.
- Become familiar with the typical development and evaluation process for COAs.
Participants will be introduced to the 4 types of clinical outcome assessments (COAs), including patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, clinician-reported outcome (ClinRO) measures, observer-reported outcome measures (ObsRO), and performance outcome (PerfO) assessments, and how these are used to quantify meaningful aspects of health, including how people are feeling, functioning, or surviving.
Other topics include:
- how the COAs are utilized in the regulatory environment,
- the 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.
