Research Methods and Statistics Discussion Series -Brown Bag

Brown Bag

COHO’s Research Methods & Statistics Discussion Series sessions are designed for analysts and investigators to meet and discuss methodological issues in study design and analysis.  Presenters are strongly encouraged to illustrate the research method or statistical technique they present by using data from a current project.  Having a handout will enable all participants to leave the session with a concrete example to help them apply the method presented. 

These sessions are held on the 4th Wednesday of selected months from 12:00 PM – 12:50 PM in COHO’s 2nd floor conference room, and are open to the entire UC Denver community.

Past topics include: GEE & conditional logistic regression, Missing QOL data in longitudinal study, Calculating sample sizes for nested case control studies, Moderation and mediation in longitudinal studies, Anesthesia variables predictive of surgical outcomes?

Methods & Applications in Health Outcomes Seminar  

Nighthorse Campbell Indian Center

The M & A Seminar Series began in 2001 as a way to provide insightful discussions of methodological issues in health outcomes research, with examples of the application of these methods to specific research problems. These seminars are held from 4-5 pm on the last Tuesday of each month, September through June, in the Nighthorse Campbell Native Health Building, Room 305, on the Anschutz Medical Campus (AMC). Presenters give a 20-25 minute didactic presentation of a specific methodological issue relevant to an outcomes research project and then describe the application of that methodological issue to the project. Time (10-20 minutes) is allocated at the end of the presentation for audience discussion. For the 2007-08 academic sessions, the COHO and the VA Colorado Research to Improve Care Coordination (VA-CRICC) program will cosponsor the series. Please email Lou.Moss@UCDenver.edu for more information or to be added to the distribution list.
