| |||
| During this session, attendees will be presented with a variety of methodological approaches to quantitative epidemiology, including Bayesian evaluation of the timeliness of outbreak detection, a strategy for partitioning a population attributable fraction in a multiple risk factor model, and using multiple imputation strategies for including data sets with missing values in multivariate analyses. Making information from large public data files more useful for people without sophisticated statistical knowledge or software will also be presented. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. List methods for evaluating outbreak detection algorithms in surveillance systems. 2. Understand the limitations and issues of estimating a population attributable fraction in multiple risk factor models. 3. Understand and receive access to a workbook for manipulating large vital statistics data sets to produce data for community health assessments. 4. Identify an alternative method to retain records with missing values for use in multivariate analyses. | |||
