Master of Science in Public Health in Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER), Université Paris Cité (France)
What is Comparative Effectiveness Research? Clinical research has generated tremendous knowledge on diagnosis and treatment. However, it does not provide sufficient information to determine for example what treatment works best, for whom, and under which conditions. Comparative Effectiveness Research addresses these issues by identifying the most effective interventions for specific patient groups. It is a growing area of cutting-edge research that is elevated to the level of national initiative in the USA.
