MasterClass: Seeing the Bigger Picture: How to Evaluate Real-World Evidence Along with RCTs in Psychiatric Treatment Decisions

Randomized controlled trials and real-world evidence each offer unique insights that can strengthen psychiatric treatment decisions when interpreted together. This session reviews the strengths, limitations, and appropriate applications of common real-world study designs, examines how RWE has informed FDA-approved psychiatric therapies, and provides practical strategies for integrating both evidence sources to individualize care and improve patient outcomes.
