[Prevscilist] FW: Upcoming Mind the Gap Webinar—Regression Discontinuity Designs in Public Health Research

[Leslie Leve]

Hello PrevSci students:

We hope you have been enjoying the beautiful Oregon summer. I am forwarding information below about a webinar on regression discontinuity, which is a great design in prevention science research when a randomized trial is not possible or desirable. This webinar occurs during week 1, but pre-registration is required so I am forwarding it now. For those of you in PREV 607 research seminar, this would count for one of your external lectures for fall term.

See you in a few weeks!
Leslie

Regression Discontinuity Designs
in Public Health Research

Presented by
Jacob Bor, Sc.D., S.M.

Thursday, September 27, 2018 | 11:00 a.m.–12:00 noon ET



About This Webinar

Regression discontinuity designs offer an internally valid approach for causal inference without need for randomization. They can be implemented when an exposure is assigned at least in part based on a threshold rule: the party with > 50% of the votes wins in a two-party election; the HIV patient with a CD4 count below 500 cells is offered therapy; residents downstream of a point pollution source swim in contaminated water.

Historically, regression discontinuity designs have been underutilized in public health and medical research. However, the last few years have seen burgeoning use of this method.

The presentation will review the theory behind regression discontinuity designs and their implementation, with a focus on examples in public health research.

About Jacob Bor

Dr. Bor is Assistant Professor and Peter T. Paul Career Development Professor in the Departments of Global Health and Epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health. His research applies the analytical tools of economics and data science to the study of population health, with a focus on HIV treatment and prevention in southern Africa. Dr. Bor was also the ODP’s 2018 Early-Stage Investigator Lecture winner.

Dr. Bor will accept questions during the webinar via WebEx and Twitter. Use the hashtag #NIHMtG.
