| Content | The workshop will be held by Dr. Johannes Kopf-Beck. Johannes Kopf-Beck is a licensed clinical psychologist and psychotherapy researcher. After his post-doc at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich, he joined the LMU Munich (lab of Thomas Ehring). His research focuses on the effectiveness and personalization of psychotherapy of affective and anxiety disorders from a transdiagnostic perspective. The worskshop will be held online. Placebo-controlled trials are often considered the gold standard in medical research for evaluating the efficacy of treatments. However, non-inferiority trials are becoming increasingly popular in practice, especially when the new treatment is expected to have similar effects to the established treatment, or to have additional advantages, e.g. in terms of safety or costs. In this workshop, participants will first be introduced to the basic principles, requirements and methodological considerations of non-inferiority trials in general and mental health and psychotherapy trials in particular. Participants will be guided through the practical application of these methods to their own research topics in the second part of the workshop. |
