The mission of the Methods & Statistics Core is the enhancement and development of productive programs of research in the area of self-management through strong methodological and statistical support. The Methods & Statistics core, led by Dr. Elizabeth Madigan, provides support to the studies supported by the SMART Center and to the broader academic community at Case Western Reserve University. The Methods & Statistics Core will emphasize four resource areas: biostatistics, qualitative research support, item response theory expertise, and economic analyses. The latter two aspects support current NIH initiatives on patient-reported outcomes and cost effectiveness studies, respectively, and accelerate faculty expertise in using both approaches. Particular attention is paid to encouraging interdisciplinary work to further the empirical and methodological understanding of self-management across multiple levels (individuals, families, health systems, communities). |
