Abstract:
|
Unmeasured spatial confounding and exposure measurement error are two major challenges for studies of the health impacts of outdoor environmental exposures. These issues can bias health effect estimates and their standard errors, leading to incorrect inference if the confounding and measurement error are ignored. In this talk, I will describe how applying methods for addressing these challenges can lead to implicit changes in the target population. This impacts the generalizability of the results, which is an important concern for studies investigating regional- and national-scale exposures.
