Country-specific estimates of misclassification rates of computer-coded verbal autopsy algorithms
INTRODUCTION: Computer-coded verbal autopsy (CCVA) algorithms are routinely used to determine individual cause of death (COD) and derive population-level estimates of cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs). But frequent COD misclassification leads to biased CSMF estimates. The VA-calibration framework reduces the bias by estimating misclassification rates; but it overlooks systematic patterns and cross-country variation, reducing the accuracy…
Survey of Adherence with Covid-19 Prevention Behaviors During the 2020 Thanksgiving and Winter Holidays Among Members of the Covid-19 Community Research Partnership
Prevention behaviors represent important public health tools to limit spread of SARS-CoV-2. Adherence with recommended public health prevention behaviors among 20000 + members of a COVID-19 syndromic surveillance cohort from the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States was assessed via electronic survey following the 2020 Thanksgiving and winter holiday (WH) seasons. Respondents were predominantly non-Hispanic Whites (90%), female (60%), and ≥…
Methods for analysis of complex survey data
BACKGROUND: Low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) seek to better utilize household and health facility survey data for monitoring and evaluation, as well as for health program planning. However, analysis of this complex survey data are complicated. In Tanzania, the National Evaluation Platform project sought to analyze Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data and Service Provision Assessment (SPA) data as part of an evaluation of the nat…
Reimagining statistical analysis for evidenced-based policy making
T o help overcome capacity-building challenges in the NEP, we began using an online web application called Stats Report which allows us to spend more time analyzing and interpreting data with workshop participants
Humidity and Gravimetric Equivalency Adjustments for Nephelometer-Based Particulate Matter Measurements of Emissions from Solid Biomass Fuel Use in Cookstoves
Great uncertainty exists around indoor biomass burning exposure-disease relationships due to lack of detailed exposure data in large health outcome studies. Passive nephelometers can be used to estimate high particulate matter (PM) concentrations during cooking in low resource environments. Since passive nephelometers do not have a collection filter they are not subject to sampler overload. Nephelometric concentration readings can be biased due t…
