Survival mixture modelling with random effects in public health

这项跨学科研究旨在开发创新的方法并提供有效的工具来分析非标准生存数据。这项工作的意义在于它的新颖性和实际应用的广度。健康结果评估在癌症预防和控制、医院战略规划和卒中后护理管理中具有重要意义。在记录充分的土著人口中审查发病率和死亡率的长期预测因素的独特机会将加强对土著健康方面现有不平等现象的了解。与结果有关的人口和生活方式信息与制定适合土著社区的政策和促进健康有关。

This interdisciplinary research aims to develop innovative methods and deliver effective tools for analysing non-standard survival data. Significance of the work lies in its novelty and the breadth of its practical applications. Evaluation of health outcomes has important implications in cancer prevention and control, hospital strategic planning, and post-stroke care management. The unique opportunity to examine long-term predictors of morbidity and mortality in a well-documented Aboriginal population will enhance the understanding of existing inequities in Aboriginal health. Demographic and lifestyle information related to the outcomes is pertinent to the development of policy and health promotion appropriate to Aboriginal communities.
