Abstract: What was the project about?Randomized controlled trials, or RCTs, look at how well treatments work.But people who take part in RCTs may differ from patients who receive care in clinics.For instance, patients who take part in RCTs may be less likely to smoke or may have fewer health problems.These differences can affect how well a treatment works.As a result, a treatment may work differently for a patient receiving care in a clinic than it did for patients who took part in the RCT. How can people use the results?Researchers can use these methods to apply RCT results to patients receiving care in clinics.
