What our customers say

Congratulations for building B.R.I.D.G.E. TO DATA! Our recent exploration of available databases for the study of medications in pregnancy has given me firsthand experience of how difficult it can be to identify an appropriate database!

The compendium maintained by BTD is a unique one with descriptions of databases from all over the world. Databases are described in a uniform way allowing fast comparison and selection of a database of interest. BTD also has contact details of individuals responsible for maintaining the database. It is user friendly and has video tutorials that provide a potential user with a short and comprehensive training on how to navigate through the profiles. Having access to ~400 descriptions of databases from all over the world saves time and money and allows a prompt identification of a suitable database.

I highly recommend researchers in the field of pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics, and related disciplines to use BTD to identify a suitable database which will meet the needs of their research. Also, pharmaceutical companies should look more often at the databases described by BTD if they are required to conduct PASS studies.
