Welcome to DIRUM
DIRUM is a project funded by the Medical Research Council Network of Hubs for Trial Methodology Research (MRC HTMR) to compile a Database of Instruments for Resource Use Measurement. Led by Bangor University, and in collaboration with the Universities of Bristol, Birmingham, British Columbia, and the London School of Economics and Political Science, the aim is to create a practical, open-access database of resource-use questionnaires for use by trial health economists.
