Abstract:

The ultimate goal of comparative effectiveness research (CER) is to develop and disseminate evidence-based information about which interventions are most effective for which patients under what circumstances. To achieve this goal it is crucial that researchers in methodology development find appropriate methods for detecting the presence and sources of heterogeneity in treatment effect (HTE). In mental health research, one important source of heterogeneity is a patient's treatment preference. We present a causal model framework that incorporates such preferences and examine the implication for estimating and presenting treatment effects in an adaptive randomized controlled trial.
