2003 International Conference for Health Policy Research

“国际卫生政策研究会议：卫生服务和成果研究中的方法学问题”是一个科学会议，其重点是研究方法和卫生政策之间的接口。ICHPR为讨论卫生服务研究中的研究需求和方法挑战的解决办法提供了一个论坛。它的具体目标是为方法学家和复杂的卫生服务研究人员创造一个交流和建立思想的界面。该会议由美国统计协会卫生政策统计科(HPSS)主办。受邀的计划将涵盖以下技术领域：分层模型、纵向数据、评估护理质量、提供者概况、隐私和数据安全以及成本效益分析。提交的计划将包括类似的主题以及其他领域，如因果推理、风险调整、决策和推断差异的技术。这些技术将在各种实质性领域进行说明，包括但不限于心血管疾病和癌症。资金将用于帮助抵消部分会议费用，并减少财政障碍，以促进更广泛地参与会议。欲了解更多信息，请访问http://www.amstatonline.org/sections/hpss/ichpr.htm。

The "International Conference on Health Policy Research (ICHPR): Methodological Issues in Health Services and Outcomes Research," is a scientific conference that focuses on the interface between research methodology and health policy. ICHPR provides a forum for discussing research needs and solutions to methodological challenges in health services research. Its specific aim is to create an interface for methodologists and sophisticated health service researchers to exchange and build upon ideas. The conference is sponsored by the Health Policy Statistics Section (HPSS) of the American Statistical Association. The Invited program will cover the following technical areas: hierarchical models, longitudinal data, assessing quality of care, provider profiling, privacy and data security, and cost-effectiveness analysis. The contributed program will include similar topics as well as other areas such as causal inference, risk adjustment, decision-making and techniques for inferring disparities. The techniques will be illustrated across a variety of substantive areas including but not limited to cardiovascular disease and cancer. Funding will be used to help offset some of the conference costs, and reduce the financial barrier to facilitate broader participation in the conference.
