Our research focus is to optimize the translation of clinical trial results into clinical practice. By leveraging advances in causal inference and considerable existing data resources we will achieve the following specific aims. Our first aim is to develop methods for assessing the applicability of RCTs and transporting causal effects from RCTs to target populations; describe methods for assessing the robustness of inferences based on these methods. Second, to evaluate the performance of methods developed in Aim 1 in simulation studies that will reflect real-world data. Third, to empirically assess the methods developed under Aims 1 and 2 in high-impact clinical topics (including the ALLHAT trial). Our methods will allow decision-makers to (1) statistically assess the applicability of trials to a target population; (2) “transport” trial results to patients seen in clinical practice; (3) apply trial results to specific patient subgroups in the broader target population.
