New and Newer: Research Methods for Studying Complex Treatments in a Complex Heterogeneous Condition
Saturday, July 10, 2010: 10:15 AM-10:55 AM
Pegasus AB (Hyatt Regency Dallas)
What are some of the challenges involved in using standard clinical trial research methods in studying innovative and unconventional treatments? Are there effective research methods for rigorously investigating treatments in disorders like autism that are highly heterogeneous? Is there any way of studying real-life autism treatment, which very often involves several or many treatments and interventions at once?
