Advancing Health Outcome Research Methods and Clinical Applications

ISOQOL is pleased to announce that the book, Advancing Health Outcome Research Methods and Clinical Applications edited by William Lenderking and Dennis Revicki, has been published. The book is based on invited presentations during the June 2004 ISOQOL meeting held in Boston. This book includes a collection of chapters which cover a wide range of conceptual and theoretical, methodological, measurement, and statistical topics, and focuses on innovative and sometimes unfamiliar areas of research that might contribute to advancing health outcomes assessment. It is hoped that health outcomes researchers, students, clinical researchers, those involved in drug development, and others interested in patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality-of-life outcomes will find much that is intriguing and stimulating within the book.
