SHRP 330Analysis & Report. of Large Cl. Data

This course will put into practice the statistical analysis and other computing skills introduced to scholars in EPHD 300/SHRP 300, EPHD 310/SHRP 310 and SHRP 325. The training format is a mixture of demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and clinical scenarios. The course will simulate previously executed/ published analyses on previously collected de-identified health research datasets. Scholars will go through the entire process experience of data handling, hypothesis-driven analysis design and culminate in the execution of statistical analysis (modeling) and presentation of results. In addition, this course will use existing datasets to familiarize scholars with commonly used health data analysis methods including survival analysis methodology and Cox regression multivariate modeling of survival data, and finally introduce propensity score approaches for risk-adjustment.
