Seminar #62: Statistical Evidence: Apples or Oranges?

This seminar gives you the tools to critically assess the selection of a control group in a research study so you can decide whether a fair (apples to apples) comparison exists.  The talk requires no mathematical background and uses no formulas.

In this class you will learn how to:

• identify four common problems with medical research;
• explain what covariate imbalance is; and
• understand the practical and ethical limitations to randomized studies.

This class qualifies for 1 IRB Education Credit (IRBEC).
