Pharmacoepidemiology
Epidemiology is the study of the determinants and distribution of disease occurrence in populations. Pharmacoepidemiology is the study of the use and effects of drugs in these populations.
Normally, epidemiological work is conducted in a non-randomized setting and requires specialized study designs and analytic techniques. However, the methodology is applicable in randomized trials as well. The subdivision of pharmacoepidemiology is particularly desired for post-approval studies.

Testimonial
AHRM, Inc. thank you so much for developing such a great web-site. The eCRF is the best that I have used. Your eCRF is arranged in a logical manner, which makes adding data a breeze. The drop-down menus have very explicit options, which I am sure will help streamline the data for the statisticians and definitely saves me time with data entry.
I am always impressed with the speed the pages load and the reliability of the web-site. I also like the interface between the Coordinator Site and the Pharmacy Site. This added electronic communication really helps with late-night randomization and dosing. I really like the tab created for adverse events. With a large interventional study with critically ill patients, there are a lot of adverse events. Having a quick, easy way to enter these events has made the chore much more tolerable.
Thank you for saving me time (which is always in short supply) with your friendly eCRF.
