The Considering Costs module will give you hands-on step-by-step practice reading clinical research. This type of research investigates decision-making options that take into account benefits, harms and costs. It will build on the material presented in the Considering Costs and Evaluating Effectiveness section of the book. The module includes:

• The M.A.A.R.I.E. framework adapted to the Considering Costs and Evaluating Effectiveness section of Studying a Study and Testing a Test including Questions to Ask.
  
  
• Application of the Considering Costs M.A.A.R.I.E. framework to a Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) article evaluating the cost effectiveness of screening for proteinuria.

So let's get started.
