SUMMARY:BHDS Plan B Presentation with Jiaying Dong
DESCRIPTION:Evaluating Martingale and Counting Process-Based Covariance and Correlation Estimators for Multivariate Survival Data \nPresented by Jiaying Dong\nMasters Candidate in Biostatistics\nPlan B Adviser: Benjamin Langworthy \nEstimating associations between multiple time to event outcomes is an important yet challenging task in survival analysis due to the presence of censoring and competing risks. Traditional measures of correlation and covariance are not valid in this setting. Langworthy et al. [1] proposed a class of time-indexed estimators based on martingale and counting process methods that account for censoring and competing risk and allow for estimations of covariance and correlation between event types. This project evaluates the performance of these estimators through simulation studies and applies them to real world electronic health record data from M Health Fairview Hospital system. \nSimulation scenarios varied by sample size\, censoring level\, time point\, and the presence of competing risks. We accessed bias\, standard deviation\, and coverage probabilities of bootstrap confidence intervals of the estimators. Both estimators performed well with low bias\, stable variance and close to 95% coverage probability. In the clinical data application\, we examined associations between orders for lactic acid testing\, telemetry monitoring and antibiotic administration following clinical deterioration\, using the same estimators. The results demonstrated that these martingale and counting process based estimators can be effectively applied in multivariate survival settings and are capable of handling censoring and competing risks\, making them useful tools for analyzing associations between time to event outcomes.

SUMMARY:Health\, housing\, and media narratives: An overview\, and future directions
DESCRIPTION:Housing is among the most well-established determinants of health and health equity. Yet\, despite this rich and growing literature\, the U.S. housing system continues to expose tens of millions of people to the numerous physical and mental health consequences resulting from inadequate safe\, stable and affordable housing – further entrenching the racist structuring of these health risks. In this presentation\, after sharing an overview of what is currently understood about the housing-health connection. I will discuss emerging research examining media discourse about housing and homelessness\, with an emphasis on how this coverage engages with broader narratives of racial justice and health equity. Next\, I will introduce how tenant organizers fighting the health-harming housing system build power through establishing new narratives that reposition housing not as commodity\, but as critical\, life-affirming public health infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Migration Health in Practice: Lessons from Two UMN Programs
DESCRIPTION:Hosted at the Public Health Institute\, this presentation will highlight two University of Minnesota-led projects focused on migration health. One project aimed to build the capacity of healthcare providers abroad and in the U.S. to address the medical needs of migrating refugees\, with the goal of ensuring proper health screenings\, safe arrival\, and a more successful community integration. The second\, the National Resource Center for Refugees\, Immigrants\, and Migrants (NRC-RIM)\, supported the public health needs of these communities after their arrival in the U.S.

SUMMARY:BHDS PhD Presentation with Chloe Falke
DESCRIPTION:Statistical Methods for Efficient Phase I Dose Escalation Trials \nPresented by Chloe Falke\nPh.D. Candidate in Biostatistics\nPh.D. Adviser: Joe Koopmeiners \nPhase I dose escalation studies are first-in-human clinical trials\, often with the primary objective of identifying the treatment’s maximum tolerated dose (MTD). This objective is complicated by the intrinsically limited size and time frame of Phase I clinical trials. In this dissertation we consider two approaches to addressing these challenges from a trial design perspective: Intra-patient dose escalation (IPDE) and MTD estimator selection. \nIPDE allows participants to receive multiple rounds of doses\, greatly increasing the amount of information that can be gathered per participant. However\, existing IPDE methods assume that dosing outcomes are not influenced by prior dosings\, which means carryover in toxicity from one dosing to the next may bias estimation of the MTD. We propose three novel dose escalation algorithms that incorporate carryover toxicity into their statistical models and thus allow for robust MTD estimation\, even when there’s strong carryover effects. \nFor trials that don’t employ IPDE\, we conducted a comparative review of MTD estimators. The MTD estimator used after a trial is frequently chosen to match the statistical model and assumptions of the dose escalation algorithm. We show the flaws with this approach and provide alternative recommendations to ensure MTD estimation is as accurate as possible.

SUMMARY:HPM Seminar with Neil Anthony Lewis\, Jr.\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Mobilizing Diverse Coalitions to Advance Health Equity \nDespite what you may have heard about the “divisive” nature of health equity efforts and other efforts to foster diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, the majority of Americans (as of late January 2025) still have favorable views of such efforts; fewer than one-third report unfavorable views. It seems that\, after living through a pandemic that made salient just how separate and unequal the United States remains in modern life\, Americans are now supportive of the idea that we ought to change the status quo—that we should pursue efforts to improve equity and justice in health and other aspects of society. How can those favorable attitudes be harnessed and turned into actions and policies that can actually improve health equity? That question has guided much of our research over the past several years. In this talk\, Dr. Lewis will share findings from that research\, which has found effective strategies for mobilizing Americans across racial\, ethnic\, and partisan lines to engage in the individual and collective actions required to advance health equity.

SUMMARY:#OwntheOutcome: Holding Companies Accountable for Health
DESCRIPTION:How might public health hold companies accountable for how their products affect human health? In a moment when public health and policy are under duress\, a new argument for how public health might follow up on the war on tobacco – and borrow a page from carbon taxes – to create new frameworks for accountability and action\, especially in industries that create the texture of everyday life (food\, entertainment\, housing and transportation). Thomas points to new arguments for public health and new coalitions that might yield greater human health.

SUMMARY:BHDS Seminar with Corwin Zigler
DESCRIPTION:Bayesian Causal Inference with Uncertain Physical Process Interference \nPresented by Corwin Zigler\nDepartment of Biostatistics\nBrown University School of Public Health \nCausal inference with spatial environmental data is often challenging due to the presence of interference: outcomes for observational units depend on some combination of local and non-local treatment. This is especially relevant when estimating the effect of power plant emissions controls on population health\, as pollution exposure is dictated by (i) the location of point-source emissions\, as well as (ii) the transport of pollutants across space via dynamic physical-chemical processes. In this work\, we estimate the effectiveness of air quality interventions at coal-fired power plants in reducing two adverse health outcomes in Texas in 2016: pediatric asthma ED visits and Medicare all-cause mortality. We develop methods for causal inference with interference when the underlying network structure is not known with certainty and instead must be estimated from ancillary data. We offer a Bayesian\, spatial mechanistic model for the interference mapping which we combine with a flexible non-parametric outcome model to marginalize estimates of causal effects over uncertainty in the structure of interference. Our analysis finds some evidence that emissions controls at upwind power plants reduce asthma ED visits and all-cause mortality\, however accounting for uncertainty in the interference renders the results largely inconclusive. \nA seminar tea will be held at 2:45 p.m. in University Office Plaza\, Room 240. All are Welcome.
