Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are designed to estimate the average treatment effect within a population of individuals that are eligible, invited, and agree to enroll. However, this population does not often correspond to the target population of individuals that will be eligible to receive the treatment in clinical practice. Dr. Lund’s research group and collaborators are working to improve what we can learn from RCTs by extending their findings to target populations that are contemporary, generalizable, and thus relevant to clinical practice and policymaking. In this talk, Dr. Lund will provide an overview of the efficacy-effectiveness gap and discuss our approach and findings when extending RCT evidence to target populations at two distinct points along the cancer control continuum.
