About the Author :
Peter Muennig is an assistant professor at Columbia University. Previously, he directed the Program in Cost-Effectiveness and Outcomes at New School University, consulted for Health Canada and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and was an assistant professor at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education.

Review :
"Few authors share Dr. Muennig's gift for reducing a complex topic to a series of practical steps that mere mortals can easily follow. This instruction manual for cost-effectiveness research, as the author accurately describes it, provides numerous tips and real-world examples. The book is essential reading for anyone designing a pharmacoeconomic or comparative-effectiveness clinical study." (Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices, November 2010)
