Abstract:
|
GIS maps using the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) data can provide a visual representation of possible geographic relationships in HINTS cancer-related knowledge variables. However, due to instability in some state values from relatively small sample sizes, the GIS maps that have been developed cannot provide specific state-level or county-level estimates of HINTS variables. Rather, they can mainly illustrate regional differences. The goal of this research is to develop model-based methodology through small area estimation (SAE) techniques to produce state- and county-level estimates on several outcomes related to fatalistic beliefs about cancer. Both area-level and unit-level models are explored. This paper describes the methodology used and presents the results.
