Regression Discontinuity Designs in Public Health Research
On September 27, 2018, 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET, Dr. Bor will present Regression Discontinuity Designs in Public Health Research. Regression discontinuity designs offer an internally valid approach for causal inference without need for randomization. Historically, regression discontinuity designs have been underutilized in public health and medical research. However, the last few years have seen burgeoning use of this method. The presentation will review the theory behind regression discontinuity designs and their implementation, with a focus on examples in public health research.
Registration for this webinar is required. |
