Using the WHO Health Equity Assessment Toolkit to investigate changes in rural vs urban malnutrition inequality for low- and middle-income countries
Background Reducing health inequalities is a key element in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) sustainable development goals (SDG). While previous research has analyzed individual childhood malnutrition indicators and inequality by place of residence, there are no studies that have looked over time for rural vs. urban inequalities for all five-childhood malnutrition indicators for low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The goal of the curren…
A Comparison of Statistical Methods to Construct Confidence Intervals and Fiducial Intervals for Measures of Health Disparities
Health disparities are differences in health status across different socioeconomic groups. Classical methods, e.g., the Delta method, have been used to estimate the standard errors of estimated measures of health disparities and to construct confidence intervals for these measures. However, the confidence intervals constructed using the classical methods do not have good coverage properties for situations involving sparse data. In this article, w…
Inequalities in Violent Death across Income Levels among Young Males and Females in Countries of the Americas
Significant inequalities in violent death among young people seems to be in place across countries of the Americas, and they seem to be socially determined by both income and gender. These findings shed light on the epidemiology of violent death in young people and can inform priorities for regional public health action. However, further investigation is needed to confirm inequality patterns and to explore underlying mechanisms, age- and sex-spec…
Application of the Abridged SimSmoke model to four Eastern Mediterranean countries
The Abridged SimSmoke model has been used to show the number of deaths from smoking and how MPOWER policies can be used to reach the WHO non-communicable deaths voluntary target for cigarette use reduction in four countries
P1-35 On the use of empirical likelihood based methods to achieve balance on measured confounders
Introduction One of the limitations of the statistical methods that use propensity scores, such as those involving adjustment for the propensity score, matching, subclassification, and inverse probability of treatment weighting, is that they do not achieve exact balance with respect to the measured confounders. Empirical likelihood is a nonparametric method with desirable statistical properties that is perfectly suited to perform the reweighting …
