Tables of contents

From the Editorial: "AHRQ sponsored a 2-day symposium of researchers who presented new approaches to designing studies, identifying sources of data for research, and developing methodologies for studying health outcomes, safety, effectiveness, and comparative effectiveness. The proceedings of the symposium have been independently peer-reviewed and compiled to form this Medical Care supplement.

This supplement is meant to serve as a resource to scientists investigating the safety and effectiveness of treatments, particularly the effects of therapies whose efficacy has been previously established through randomized controlled trials. "
