description: This work is designed to familiarize students, clinicians and researchers with the key principles and methods of quality of life and cost-effectiveness assessment in clinical trials. It is based on abstracted material from the second edition of Dr. Spilker's reference, Quality of Life and Pharmacoeconomics in Clinical Trials (1996). The material has been edited, condensed and streamlined to provide an overview of approaches to quality of life assessment, evaluations of outcomes, and pharmacoeconomic models. It is divided into seven sections: introduction; social and psychological assessment; selected tests for quality of life assessment; reported methodology; special populations and specific diseases; utilities and outcomes; and pharmacoeconomics. Each section summarizes the crucial issues and provides selected references.
