Short Course: Tools and Methods to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Risk Minimization Measures

This is a Virtual Pre-Conference Short Course in conjunction with the Canada Annual Meeting.

Overview

There is an increasing number of risk minimization programs that are implemented in Canada and elsewhere, ranging from communication to mandatory trainings and controlled distribution, amongst others. Although these programs carry enormous relevance for patients and public health, determining whether these programs are effective is methodologically challenging. Methodological and regulatory guidances are available, which must be adapted to the Canadian context.
