What’s an Estimand and Why Should I Use It?
Description
This webinar will introduce estimands, and show how estimands can be used to plan for and address post-randomisation challenges to make the most of PRO data. It will demonstrate how to use this framework to construct, evaluate and communicate PRO estimands using examples from multiple disease areas.
Intended Audience
The intended audience are PRO researchers and clinical trialists, especially those who are non-statisticians.
Level of Knowledge Needed: Advanced
