Description

Clinical trials are the gold standard for comparing two or more medical interventions. However, clinical trials do not ensure validity or reliability, as biases can (and do!) still creep in. This session will provide a discussion of some of these biases, along with remedies that will help ensure that clinical trial results are reliable.
