Decision making in Health, either made by doctors or other professionals, or even by managers or patients, is becoming more dependent of the available information of a great variety of factors – biological, clinical, social or economical.
However, the collection, the production and the evaluation of that information demands a specific knowledge of scientific methodologies and specific themes, which were developed in the last few years, for example: design and validation of questionnaires and health measurement scales; techniques for the evaluation of diagnostic testing and therapeutic interventions; systematic reviews and meta-analysis; sampling methods and data analysis methods in clinical studies and health services.
