 t\n\nWhile explanatory clinical trials examine interventions under strictl
 y controlled conditions\, pragmatic trials assess interventions in real-wo
 rld settings. Pragmatism can be introduced into the design\, implementatio
 n\, and management of a trial by embedding the study in routine care\, enr
 olling participants using broad eligibility criteria\, allowing for flexib
 le delivery of the intervention\, focusing on patient-centred outcomes\, a
 nd by using existing data sources (e.g.\, routinely collected health data)
 . This presentation will introduce the pragmatic-explanatory continuum\, d
 iscuss the design of trials that are fit for purpose\, and overview the He
 alth Data Research Network Canada (HDRN Canada) Pragmatic Trials Training 
 Program (https://www.schulich.uwo.ca/pragmatictrialstraining/).\n\nLearnin
 g Objectives\n\nAt the end of this talk\, attendees will be able to:\n\n\n
 	Describe the pragmatic-explanatory continuum in the context of clinical tr
