How to estimate health service coverage in 58 districts of Benin with no survey data: Using hybrid estimation to fill the gaps
The global movement to use routine information for managing health systems to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, relies on administrative data which have inherent biases when used to estimate coverage with health services. Health policies and interventions planned with incorrect information can have detrimental impacts on communities. Statistical inferences using administrative data can be improved when they are combined with random proba…
The Right Kind of Pooled Testing for the Novel Coronavirus: First, Do No Harm
As with so much else in the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States is so far losing the SARS-CoV-2 testing race. In a growing number of areas of the country, as well as at educational and work sites, testing and obtaining timely results cannot keep pace with demand. Because the effort and cost of so much testing is considerable, and because some testing supplies are still scarce, it's important to conduct tests as efficiently and cost-effectively a…

Estimating the magnitude and direction of bias in tuberculosis drug resistance surveys conducted only in the public sector: A simulation study
In locations where large numbers of tuberculosis patients are diagnosed and treated by private sector practitioners who are not typically included in drug resistance surveys, targeted surveys for assessing drug resistance are required to validly estimate resistance
Estimation of the Prevalence of Injection Drug Use in Greater Boston in 1993
This article is a report on different methods of estimation of the number of injection drug users (IDUs) in the Boston standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) in 1993. Because the sharing of needles is a means of transmission for HIV, an estimate of the prevalence of injection drug use is essential for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention programs. The data for this study come from the Massachusetts Department of Public Heal…
Why those who drink the most coffee appear to be at increased risk of disease. A modest proposal
A sample of 2,706 adults, considered representative of the United States, was interviewed by telephone about coffee consumption and about experiences and personal characteristics that have been considered antecedents or risk factors of vascular diseases and malignancies. Consumption of more than 5.6 cups per day placed a person in the top quartile of total daily coffee. People in the top quartile of caffeine‐containing coffee consumption averaged…
Preterm infants born to women who had an elevated prepregnancy body mass index appear to be at increased risk of germinal matrix hemorrhage
In a sample of 449 infants of birthweight ≤ 1.5 kg, the risk of germinal matrix hemorrhage increased monotonically with increases in maternal body mass index (BMI, wt/ht 2 ). This relationship was repeated in many strata of the sample, including those defined by the occurrence of labor, maternal preeclampsia, route of delivery, intubation of the baby and acidosis, as well as strata defined by birthweight and gestational age. Even though the dose-…
