Overview: Traditional comparative effectiveness research (CER) for healthcare has examined the effectiveness, benefits, and harms of different treatment options (AHRQ). This type of analysis is also essential to determining the success of public health interventions and the delivery of public health services. In this webinar, speakers discussed proven and emerging methods for conducting CER, and proposed approaches for utilizing those methods to address population-level inquiries. Dr. Anirban Basu presented emerging methods used for CER, and suggested strategies for their application to public health. Dr. Marisa Domino then described her research, applying CER methods through Public Health Services and Systems Research (PHSSR). This webinar will be of interest to those investigating systems and population level health challenges, including health service researchers who would like to examine the delivery of health services in public settings. The workshop assumes basic familiarity with the goal of CER.
