ASA, Section on Teaching Statistics in the Health Sciences | ||
Instructor(s): Thomas A. Lang, Tom Lang Communications, Ralph G. O'Brien, Cleveland Clinic Foundation | ||
Even the best statistical work has value only when it is communicated effectively to relevant audiences. Most often, this communication occurs through technical reports and scientific articles. Participants will learn several techniques for communicating scientific research, especially statistical information, to non-statisticians. The presentation has four core topics: 1) the Perspective of Communication, 2) The Statistical Report and the Scientific Article, 3) Reporting Statistics in Medicine, and 4) Written Communication Skills. Instruction will be by lecture-discussion and by individual and group activities. There are no prerequisites. The workshop is not a review of English composition and is not intended to improve the English capabilities of nonnative English speakers. | ||
