How do we know if population health improving, declining, or staying the same? How does health in one group compare to another? A therapy may extend quantity of life, but how can we assess the quality of those years? These questions are important to policymakers, patients, clinicians, and researchers.
This course is intended for graduate students who wish to understand and use measures of health outcomes in clinical research, population surveillance, and/or policy development.
This course will familiarize students with current methods of assessing health outcome measures and provide a conceptual basis for understanding health outcomes assessment and other patient experience measures of health care. During the semester, we will explore 1) methods for developing health outcome measures, 2) commonly used health outcome measures, and 3) how health outcome measures can be applied to answer a research question. Major data sets containing health outcome measures will also be visited.
