Title: When Averages Hide Individual Differences in Clinical Trials.
Authors: Kent, David1,2 dkent1@tufts-nemc.org, Hayward, Rodney3,4
Source: American Scientist. Jan/Feb2007, Vol. 95 Issue 1, p60-68. 8p.
Subjects: Clinical trials, Disease risk factors, Clinical medicine research, Medical research, Medical experimentation on humans

They believe that to be truly useful, clinical trials must routinely include analyses that combine risk factors into risk scores or indices.
