Abstract:
|
In many studies, researchers are not only interested in examining if an intervention works but also how it works through mediation analysis. Most standard and causal approaches on mediation analysis focus on continuous or binary outcomes. However, the outcome in dental studies is often a count or zero-inflated count. In this talk, we will discuss approaches for mediation analysis on general outcomes, especially count or zero-inflated count outcomes in dental studies.
