ABSTRACT
This chapter presents best practices and guidelines for conducting and reporting data from health economics and outcomes research. A brief summary of different data source types and study design methodologies is provided in the final chapter of the book. It is noted that research findings based on these outcomes should be interpreted with caution in order to support claims that are consistent with medical product labels. Several guidance resources are highlighted, including those from the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research, and other professional and governmental bodies.
