Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics

Jean-Eric Tarride

Academic Interests

Jean-Eric Tarride teaches in courses related to health technology assessment in both the Health Research Methodology Program, and the MA/PhD programs of the Department of Economics.

His primary research interests are in methods for the economic evaluation of health technologies and the treatment of uncertainty in health technology assessments (HTAs) and decision-making process. Other areas of research include the longitudinal analysis of healthcare utilization data and the valuation of indirect costs in HTAs.

Before coming to McMaster University, he was a consultant and manager of pharmacoeconomics and outcomes research for ten years. During this time, Jean-Eric acquired a vast experience in designing and conducting pharmacoeconomic (e.g., cost-effectiveness and cost-utility studies), budget impact analyses and outcomes research studies (e.g., Phase IV observational studies, burden of illness studies, development and validation of Quality of Life instruments) in a variety of therapeutic areas and health care settings.
