title: Prioritizing comparative-effectiveness research topics via stakeholder involvement: an application in COPD.
abstract: A major priority for funding agencies and researchers involved in comparative-effectiveness research (CER) is to ensure that research questions will produce findings that are relevant and feasible to implement. In this article, we describe a process for involving experts and stakeholders in identifying and prioritizing CER studies, as illustrated by our experience in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
