Validate study variables to reduce misclassification bias: recent tools and research needs
In this interactive workshop, we will identify key barriers, explore recent tools, and highlight critical research needs. Our ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between methodology and application—developing an agenda to improve validation practices, facilitate adoption, and effectively reduce misclassification bias in study results.

Validation of study variables derived from Real World Data is recommended, and quantitative bias analysis methods exist to address misclassification bias. However, validation studies remain rare, and their findings are seldom integrated into Real World Evidence used for regulatory decisions.
What prevents more widespread validation? What challenges hinder the reduction of misclassification bias?
In this interactive workshop, we will identify key barriers, explore recent tools, and highlight critical research needs. Our ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between methodology and application—developing an agenda to improve validation practices, facilitate adoption, and effectively reduce misclassification bias in study results.
