A Review and Synthesis of Multi-level Models for Causal Inference with Individual Level ExposuresSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-9 - 2023
Alexander P. Keil, Sabrina Zadrozny, Jessie K. Edwards
Multi-level models are ways to model data using multiple levels of information. Here, we provide a narrative review some of the relevant literature on how multi-level models can interface with causal inference for individual level exposures. Much of this discussion focuses on clarifying and synthesizing some of the complex ideas in the literature. We discuss how multi-level models can be seen as a...... hiện toàn bộ

Difference-in-differences analyses are a useful tool for estimating group-level decisions, such as policy changes, training programs, or other non-randomized interventions, on outcomes which occur within the intervention group. However, there is little practical advice on how to apply difference-in-differences to epidemiologic and health data. Here, we provide a tutorial on applying the difference...... hiện toàn bộ

Christine Choirat, Danielle Braun, Marianthi-Anna Kioumourtzoglou
Data science is an exploding trans-disciplinary field that aims to harness the power of data to gain information or insights on researcher-defined topics of interest. In this paper, we review how data science can help advance environmental health research. We discuss the concepts of computationally scalable handling of big data and the design of efficient research data platforms and how data scien...... hiện toàn bộ
Anxious Generation: a Review of the Relationship Between Anxiety Disorders and Cardiovascular Disease in YouthSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 39-43 - 2020
Irene Ryan
Rising rates of youth anxiety may adversely affect later cardiovascular health (CVH); thus, this is an area of research that could be lacking. Anxiety disorders and poor CVH have been linked in adults by way of negative effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and mortality. Anxiety disorders have also been linked to risky lifestyle and behavioral choices like adiposity, physical inact...... hiện toàn bộ
