A review of generalizability and transportability
A review of generalizability and transportability
What is this about?
This paper presents a framework for addressing external validity bias, including a synthesis of approaches for generalizability and transportability, the assumptions they require, as well as tests for the heterogeneity of treatment effects and differences between study and target populations. It does cover scenarios when the study finding originates from an observational study in addition to the most common approaches for RCTs.
