TL05: The Statistician's Role in Guiding Study Design for Health Care Research

Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center 

Study design choices made early in a project have lasting consequences for methodological rigor, feasibility, and appropriate and interpretable inference. This roundtable will explore how statisticians collaborate with investigators to identify optimal designs for health care research and navigate challenges that arise during implementation. Participants will share experiences and strategies for guiding investigators toward designs that are both rigorous and realistic.
