CDISC ADaM - Implementation by Example

November 19, 2021  |  10am-2pm Pacific  |   $125/person

ADaM defines data set and metadata standards for clinical trials and is one of the required standards for data submission to the FDA. This course will provide a high-level overview of some of basic ADaM concepts. It is assumed that the attendee will have a fundamental knowledge of the different ADaM structures and principles. The primary focus of the course is to illustrate the implementation of some of the concepts found in both the ADaM Implementation Guide (ADaMIG) and the ADaM Structure for Occurrence Data (OCCDS) documents.

Items covered include setting up subject level analysis data set (ADSL) for common trial designs and walking through the process of creating a basic data structure (BDS) starting from a simple BDS and building on it to structure a data set that will support one or more analyses. Additionally, the course will demonstrate how to implement some variables that are only found in OCCDS, such as the standardized MedDRA query (SMQ) and customized query (CQ) variables.

Designing Effective Surveys:
Using Social Science to Answer Your Questions

December 2, 2021  |  10am-2pm Pacific  |   $125/person

When we want to know what’s going on in the minds of our customers, clients, and stakeholders we often develop a survey. However, gathering public opinion is not as simple as asking and answering. In fact, poorly designed questions actually frustrate participants and produce useless – or worse, inaccurate – results.

Don’t waste another minute creating a survey that doesn’t elicit useful information! Learn the right way to design a questionnaire from a scientific perspective. This course will use the fundamentals of social science research to prepare attendees to make their next survey a targeted and informative success. We'll discuss how to find the right population and sample, tips for increasing response rates, how to write questions that respondents love, and more!
