There is concern over the costs of providing services to improve the health and independence of the nation’s elderly. Interventions that improve health are also evaluated in terms of the resources needed to so. This research core aims to advise and work with the other projects and trainees of the center on the methodological issues and problems specific to the design and statistical analysis of studies of interventions, assessment of their immediate and longer-term outcomes, preferences, and costs. The A/CE aims to maximize the validity and value of those studies through the application of appropriate state-of-the-art statistical methods.
Support Provided:
- Design
- Statistical analysis
- Selection of measures to estimate health, satisfaction, adherence, and costs.
- Specific analyses of these measures after collection
- New measure development and testing of methods to estimate health
- Cost-effectiveness analyses
