Description:

Prerequisites: PHR 4102, PHR 5108, PHR 5110, PHR 5111. Clinical trial has a prominent role in the research and approval of new drugs. To conduct clinical trials, future pharmacists need an understanding of the various experimental designs used in research studies. This course will introduce the student to the terminology used to classify the design of a research study and to explore in detail observational research as represented by the case report, case-control study, and cohort study. It will describe the study design characteristics that distinguish experimental research, as in clinical trial, from other types of drug research. Methods for enhancing validity through the use of appropriate controls, randomization, and blinding will be discussed. Lecture, 3 hours. Credit: 3 semester hours.
