SUMMARY:OCTRI-BERD Seminar - Algorithmic bias: a practical introduction
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Alicia Johnson\, MPH \nClinical algorithms assist healthcare providers with decision-making based on a small set of demographic and clinical characteristics. While they can be useful tools\, algorithms are created using data from sources such as electronic health records or longitudinal studies. They reflect the features present in that data – which may include a lack of representation of various subgroups of the population\, selection bias that may differ among subgroups\, systematic measurement error\, and more. In clinical settings\, these biases can manifest as results that may be inaccurate for certain groups of patients\, potentially leading to misdiagnosis\, missed opportunities for treatment\, and other undesirable outcomes. \nThis talk provides an introduction to the concept of algorithmic bias\, illustrating how it may show up through examples from various areas in medicine. The goal of this talk is to support attendees in understanding algorithmic bias\, the limitations of clinical prediction rules\, and the impact algorithmic bias may have on patients. We will also discuss how to begin to identify and minimize the impact of algorithmic bias. \nThis introductory seminar is appropriate for those who are familiar with clinical algorithms and are curious to learn about their limitations. Healthcare providers\, analysts\, students\, and others are welcome. \nRegister via Compass. This seminar will be recorded.

SUMMARY:Quantitative Epidemiology Methods in Practice Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Recreational cannabis legalization and serious mental disorder among cannabis patients in California: A statewide longitudinal study\\nPresenter: Sidra Goldman-Mellor PhD\, MPH – Associate Professor\, Department of Public Health\, University of California\, Merced \nMore than 50% of U.S. residents live in states with legalized recreational use of cannabis. Some research suggests that recreational cannabis legalization has led to population-level increases in incidence of serious mental disorder. This talk will present results from a study using statewide\, longitudinally-linked administrative health record data to examine whether recreational legalization in California was associated with changes in mental disorder risk among a potentially vulnerable subgroup: individuals with problematic cannabis use. \nJOIN VIRTUALLY

SUMMARY:From Data to Action: Global Burden of Disease and the Role of Academic Public Health
DESCRIPTION:The Global Network for Academic Public Health (GNAPH) will host an upcoming webinar\, From Data to Action: Global Burden of Disease and the Role of Academic Public Health\, on May 27 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET. This timely session will explore the latest findings from the 2023 Global Burden of Disease Study and their implications for academic public health. \nModerated by GNAPH President John Middleton and featuring experts from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)\, the webinar will highlight critical insights on post-pandemic health trends\, persistent global inequities\, and the rising burden of noncommunicable diseases. These findings provide an important evidence base for understanding current and emerging health challenges worldwide. \nThe session will also focus on how Global Burden of Disease data and tools can be applied in academic settings to strengthen teaching\, inform research\, and support evidence-based advocacy. By translating data into action\, academic public health institutions can play a central role in preparing future leaders and advancing solutions to complex global health issues. \nThis webinar offers an opportunity for faculty\, staff\, and students to engage with leading experts and explore practical approaches to integrating global health data into education and practice. \nREGISTER FOR EVENT

SUMMARY:Visual Thinking and Data Visualization for Clinical Research
DESCRIPTION:This highly interactive session presents ways to use visual thinking to strengthen research and scientific communication. In order to visualize data well\, we have to understand our research deeply. Likewise\, in order to understand our research deeply\, we need to be able to visualize it well. Centered around a graph makeover\, the talk presents three real-world design principles that can clarify both data visualization and critical thinking. \nKate Miller is Director of the Visual Thinking and Data Visualization Program at the Quantitative Sciences Unit at Stanford Medical School\, as well as a Senior Biostatistician there. She uses visual thinking every day in her collaborative work with clinical research teams. \nREGISTER VIA COMPASS

SUMMARY:Working with the All of Us Research Program data: Building a Community of Researchers at OHSU
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Alicia Johnson\, MPH \nThe NIH All of Us Research Program is an incredible resource to researchers\, providing access to genomics and health data from a large sample of participants that includes historically marginalized groups and enabling health discoveries that promise to improve the lives of individuals. However\, individual researchers at OHSU and beyond who work with All of Us data face numerous challenges navigating the platform and data structure and often lack support in working through issues that arise. \nIn this inaugural seminar in the FUSE series\, we aim to begin building a community of researchers who wish to work with the All of Us data. After a brief introduction to the All of Us Research Program\, several members of this nascent community will share their experiences\, challenges\, and tips for getting started. Resources for working with this data will be shared. \nAll are welcome and no prior background with the All of Us Research Program or in data management or analysis will be assumed. This seminar will not be recorded \nREGISTER FOR EVENT

SUMMARY:Measuring and Projecting Population Health: Child Mortality in the G7 Countries and U.S. Life-Course Obesity
DESCRIPTION:Featuring: Omar Karlsson \nThe talk has two parts. The first examines subnational variation in mortality before age 20 years across the G7 countries. Using vital statistics and population data\, it constructs age-specific mortality rates for states\, provinces\, and comparable regions and examines geographic inequalities\, with particular attention to the United States. \nThe second part focuses on obesity in the United States. Projections of mortality\, disability\, and health-care needs\, as well as models of chronic disease\, require estimates of how obesity develops across age and differs between birth cohorts because life-course exposure shapes later-life health and disease. Most data on obesity come from repeated cross-sectional surveys\, which include new individuals in each round rather than following the same people as they age. The talk presents a method for simulating trajectories of body weight from these surveys. \nHosted by PSU Population Research Center

SUMMARY:Power and Sample Size 101
DESCRIPTION:Biostatistics\, Epidemiology\, and Research Design (BERD) and Informatics Programsm\nHosted by: Meike Niederhausen\, Ph.D. \nAre you grappling with power and sample size (PSS) calculations for a grant or looking to brush up on your PSS skills? This seminar aims to demystify the PSS calculation process. We will help you understand what grant reviewers are looking for in PSS calculations\, discuss what components are required to calculate PSS\, and talk through how to make key decisions about the estimates used in your calculations. These concepts will be illustrated using simple study designs that will help you learn how to do basic PSS calculations. \nREGISTER VIA COMPASS \nQuestions? Contact Amy Laird: laird@ohsu.edu
