Abstract:
|
Many public health questions cannot be answered based on a single study because: 1) the study size is in-sufficient, 2) the study does not contain all essential information, or 3) the question requires comparison of multiple estimates from individual studies. Statisticians need to overcome issues such as study selection and variance estimation while performing analyses based on multiple studies. This roundtable is for experience sharing and discussions on the use of multiple study analyses for public health.
