There are many basic concepts that need to be understood before statistics can be used to its full potential to give useful and informative answers. This course ensures that these concepts ar e understood in a non-technical way and then demonstrated using data examp les. \; Mathematical details are kept to a necessary minimum and we fo cus on the interpretation of statistical output and illustrate application s with data from dummy clinical trials or published data. The objective of the course is not to teach you how to become a statistician\, but to help you work with statisticians and get the maximum value from statistical ou tput. \; The course will consist of lectures\, practical examples and discussions. There will not be any computer exercises. \; Target Audie nce: \; This is a 1-day course\, aimed to introduce statistics to peop le who work on Clinical Trials\, but who are not Statisticians. No previou s knowledge of Statistics is assumed as we start right at the beginning wi th the basics. Many practical examples are given and the emphasis is on ap plication and understanding rather than the equations and the technical ba ckground. \; The basics of statistics are discussed to give background and a common base to start from and the applications and use of statistic s in drug development is then discussed. The role of the statistician and their ability to help with decision making is also discussed. \; It al so serves as a useful refresher course to those who once studied statistic s as part of a college course. \; The following key topics will be add ressed: \; 1.
