Data Workshop: Data Issues to Consider When Conducting Analysis of State Opioid Policies<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Presenters: Rosalie Liccardo Pacula, PhD, and Rosanna Smart, PhD<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>ABSTRACT: Numerous private and public agencies are collecting and reporting out information on state opioid policies to facilitate greater analysis and dissemination of state approaches for tackling the opioid epidemic. Most agencies focus on laws\/statutes, which means that this is where the bulk of the research is happening. Definitions of many policies differ across some of the most commonly relied upon sources, which contributes to uncertainty regarding their impact. In this workshop, we will discuss some of the most common definitions being used for various policies, discuss how differences in assumptions regarding the meaning of \u201ceffective date\u201d can have important implications regarding the likelihood of finding an impact through analysis, and discuss the importance of considering multiple policy domains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Methods Workshop: State-Level Opioid Policy Analyses: Moving Beyond the Classic Difference-in-Difference Model<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>ABSTRACT: Motivated by the context of opioid policy research, this workshop will provide an overview of key methodological challenges faced when evaluating the effectiveness of state-level policy using annual state- level data, as well as potential solutions and practice guidelines. We will begin discussing the commonly used linear difference-in-difference (DID) model and then subsequently discuss DID extensions and alternative approaches (i.e., autoregressive models, non-linear models, doubly robust methods, synthetic controls). Methods will be demonstrated in STATA using an opioid policy case study.<\/span><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT: <\/span> This <\/span>CHERISH<\/a> (Center for Health Economics of Treatment Interventions fo<\/span>r Substance Use Disorder, HCV, <\/span>and HIV) sponsored seminar will provide an <\/span>in-depth review of methods for conducting an economic evaluation <\/span>alongside <\/span>a clinical trial.<\/span> Statistical metho<\/span>ds frequently employed in <\/span>applied health econometric studies (two-part, and generalized linear mod<\/span>els, recycled predictions, mixed effects, longitudinal analysis, etc.), and <\/span>best practices for data collection and analysis will be discussed, with examples using <\/span>Stata statistical software; however, experience with <\/span>Stata is not a prerequisite. This se<\/span>minar is designed for investigators who have some familiarity with economic evaluations, but would benef<\/span>it from a more detailed outline of the methods involved and examples of their application.<\/span><\/p>\n

ABSTRACT: This interactive workshop includes a panel of researchers from a variety of settings (e.g., academia, research\/consulting firms) and career stages to give “nuts and bolts” guidance to new researchers interested in learning more about opportunities for research careers both in and beyond academia. Topics include setting priorities for the range of opportunities that arise across research, teaching and service; collaborating with other researchers; collaborating with community settings; writing manuscripts and grant reviews; identifying and evaluating grant opportunities.  Ample time will be available for questions and discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n
