Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The majority of pharmacoeconomic analyses are piggy-backed onto clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of a specific treatment or intervention. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requests that pharmacoeconomic analyses be attached to clinical trials. Economic data are collected as part of the clinical trial and used to determine the cost-effectiveness of the treatment under study.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A cost-of-illness analysis measures both direct and indirect costs associated with an illness. The other choices refer to cost-minimization, cost-utility, and cost-effectiveness analyses, respective-ly.
