Innovative methods for studying the health effects of air pollution
Dr Heejun Shin and Michael Cork will explore some essential methods for researching health problems associated with air pollution.
As part of a seminar series in environmental epidemiology, Dr. Heejun Shin and Michael Cork from the Department of Biostatistics at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will explore innovative methods for studying the health effects of air pollution. Their talks will focus on accounting for mobility in air pollution studies and comparing approaches to estimate exposure-response relationships for particulate matter, with an emphasis on how these insights can guide air quality policies.
First talk (15.00-15.30) from Dr Heejun Shin entitled: A Spatial Interference Approach to Account for Mobility in Air Pollution Studies with Multivariate Continuous Treatments.
Second talk (15.30-16.00) from Michael Cork entitled: From Data to Action: Comparing Methods for Estimating Exposure-Response Curves to Shape PM Safety Standards.
This seminar series, part of DASH’s Improving Environmental and Planetary Health challenge, will use real-world examples and critical discussions to explore challenges in assessing causality in environmental epidemiology, and highlight innovative approaches to improve public health insights.
It will consist of three seminars given by speakers from Harvard Medical School, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and North Carolina State University, followed by a fourth internal LSHTM panel discussion event.
