She is a graduate of the Masters of Science in Statistics program at Montana State University where she worked on HIV research in the Mathematical Sciences department. \n\n\n\nSummary\n\n\n\nOften the populations who are at highest risk of negative health outcomes\, such as HIV/AIDS\, are the hardest to reach through traditional survey methodology. Recent innovations in survey methods\, particularly the use of respondent-driven sampling (RDS)\, have allowed researchers to better understand marginalized populations. Although RDS leverages the underlying social network structure within these communities to recruit individuals into the study\, these same network structures pose challenges to using traditional statistical methods to analyze these data. Our talk will provide an overview of what RDS is\, why it is useful\, and dive into the burgeoning literature on performing statistical analyses with RDS. In particular\, we consider a regression model in the context of a recent respondent-driven sample of young adults using heroin and prescription opioids non-medically in NYC. We seek to better understand factors associated with young adults in NYC expressing interest in treatment for opioid use disorder but not currently in treatment. Understanding risk and protective factors related to such gaps is useful for public health decisions focused on increasing access to treatment for opioid use disorder. \n\n\n\nMeeting details\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting here. \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 453 444 1666Passcode: 1234 URL:https://cunyisph.org/events/regression-methods-for-respondent-driven-samples-an-application-to-young-adults-using-prescription-opioids-non-medically-in-new-york-city/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211028T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211028T173000 DTSTAMP:20260425T091515 CREATED:20210804T170719Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210804T170721Z UID:6094-1635436800-1635442200@cunyisph.org SUMMARY:Save the Date: Grand Rounds with Dr. Milton Wainberg DESCRIPTION: URL:https://cunyisph.org/events/grand-rounds-with-dr-milton-wainberg/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211021T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211021T133000 DTSTAMP:20260425T091515 CREATED:20211013T151643Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211013T151644Z UID:6259-1634817600-1634823000@cunyisph.org SUMMARY:Half of U.S. parents may not vaccinate their youngest child against COVID DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss parental acceptability of COVID-19 vaccination for children based on results from national and NYC surveys.

The effect of preconception-initiated low-dose aspirin on hCG pregnancy\, pregnancy loss\, and live birth: per-protocol analysis of a randomized trial DESCRIPTION:Grand Rounds Lecture \n\n\n\nAshley Naimi\n\n\n\nAssistant Professor of Epidemiology\, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health\n\n\n\nVideo available here. \n\n\n\nDr. Ashley Naimi’s research falls at the crossroads of causal inference\, social epidemiology and human reproduction. Dr. Naimi develops and applies analytic methods to non-experimental data to assess the effectiveness of potential policy interventions to reduce the overall burden of and social disparities in adverse pregnancy and childhood outcomes. \n\n\n\nA major focus of his current work is the development\, use and interpretation of statistical methods for causal mediation analysis in social epidemiology. He is adapting a variety of modeling techniques to estimate more realistic intervention effects (stochastic mediation contrasts). His approach relies heavily on the principles and concepts of causal inference\, comparative effectiveness research and implementation science. The end goal of Dr. Naimi’s research is to develop targeted actionable strategies to reduce racial disparities in preterm birth. \n\n\n\nThis lecture is hosted by the CUNY SPH Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics.

His recent collaboration with Digital India\, Government of India has been to explore innovatively on how technology can be used to address SDGs. He was recently invited to present his work at the United Nations. He has also developed an online certificate\, and an executive program in population health informatics. He also recently developed a fully online MS program in population health informatics\, the first of its kind globally and just wrote the textbook Population Health Informatics: Driving Evidence Based Solutions into Practice published by Jones Bartlett. \n\n\n\nCo-hosted by the Center for Systems and Community Design and the NYU-CUNY Prevention Research Center\, the Systems Change Series is a monthly lecture and workshop series hosted by the Center that creates space for distinguished scholars\, practitioners and entrepreneurs across a broad range of sectors to share the ways in which they work at the forefront of incorporating systems and design thinking into their respective practices. \n\n\n\nRSVP here.
