The Pragmatist's Guide to Comparative Effectiveness Research PDF Which point on the curve do you advocate for and why? What are the differences of the various points on the curve?

I'm sorry, but without specific details about the curve and the context of the Comparative Effectiveness Research you're referring to, it's difficult to provide a detailed answer.

However, in general, Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) is a direct comparison of existing health care interventions to determine which work best for which patients and which pose the greatest benefits and harms. The curve in this context could represent a variety of things such as cost-effectiveness, patient outcomes, or other measurable factors.

Different points on the curve could represent different interventions, different patient groups, or different outcomes. Advocating for a point on the curve would depend on the specific context, the goals of the research, and the needs of the patients.

For example, if the curve represents cost-effectiveness, a point on the curve that represents a highly effective but also highly expensive intervention might be advocated for if the goal is to provide the highest quality care, regardless of cost. On the other hand, a point representing a moderately effective but much less expensive intervention might be advocated for if the goal is to provide the most cost-effective care.

The differences between various points on the curve would represent the differences in effectiveness and cost (or whatever variables are being measured) between different interventions or patient groups.

To provide a more specific answer, I would need more information about the context of the question and the specifics of the curve and the research being referred to.
