Tailoring treatment assignment to specific individuals can improve the health outcomes, but a single study may offer inadequate information for this purpose. The ability to leverage information from an auxiliary data source deemed to be `most similar' to a primary data source has been shown to improve estimates of treatment effects. In this paper, we introduce a framework, the Multi-Study Causal Forest (MCF), to borrow individual patient-level data from an auxiliary data source in the presence of `varying sources' of treatment effect heterogeneity. We utilise a simulation study to demonstrate the superiority of the MCF in the presence of varying treatment allocation models (between-study heterogeneity) in addition to being able to account for the presence of within-study heterogeneity. This approach can combine data from randomised controlled trials, observational studies or a combination of both. We illustrate using Breast cancer data that the MCF performs favourably compared to an existing methodology in the presence of varying sources of (both between and within) heterogeneity.
