- Authors
Citrome, Leslie
- Abstract
The article presents a risk-benefit review of available treatments for schizophrenia. Information about an effect size measure called number needed to treat (NNT) is presented. The author discusses how NNT can be easily calculated from clinical research trial data and how NNT can be applied in the clinic. She notes that NNT is useful not only for positive outcomes, but also when comparing interventions on negative effects.
