The 16th Francophone Conference on Clinical Epidemiology

The 16th Francophone Conference of Clinical Epidemiology will be held in Paris. This year, we would like to focus on prevention and care organization trials; these trials raise exciting methodological questions, particularly in terms of reaching target populations, taking into account organizational constraints and geographical variations; while the question of evaluating health care actions is becoming more acute, there has never been a greater need to promote rigorously conducted trials that allow for unambiguous interpretation. The other themes envisaged cover various fields of clinical research such as platform trials, advanced modeling and biomarker analysis, experimental designs in clinical epidemiology, in particular to optimize resources for translational research, and experimental designs for medico-economic studies.
