Primary Care Research Methods & Statistics Conference

初级保健研究方法与统计会议，2004年12月3-5日，门格酒店：背景。继续需要扩大初级保健领域的研究能力。目的。初级保健研究方法与统计会议的目的是通过以下方式提高初级保健研究的能力：1)帮助新手研究人员培养基本的研究技能；2)帮助有经验的研究人员扩展他们的研究方法。AHRQ会议目标。初级保健研究方法与统计会议旨在解决AHRQ会议的目标。1)研究发展，2)设计和方法，3)传播。会议特别感兴趣的是征集关于初级保健研究领域新方法和/或新兴方法的会议。方法。对于新研究人员来说，这次会议旨在帮助培养基本的研究技能，如规划、进行和交流简单研究的结果。这一目标将通过新研究员方法研讨会、基本方法跟踪、AHRQ概念论文回顾研讨会、研究职业规划小组讨论以及与出席会议的中级和有经验的研究人员建立联系的机会来解决。对于经验丰富的研究人员，会议旨在扩展他们的研究技术和统计方法，以帮助他们进行高质量、复杂的研究，解决初级保健中的复杂问题。这一目标将通过会前经验研讨会（通常是高级统计主题）、统计专题、专题专题、创新研究剖析研讨会、全体会议和方法智库过程来解决。评估。每次会议由与会者和会议主持人进行评估。主持人还会评估演讲者的演讲能力。最后，要求每位与会者完成对会议的总结性评估，并征求他们对未来会议主题、潜在演讲者和可能的内容轨迹的意见。评估由多学科项目委员会在每年会议的规划阶段进行整理和审议。

Primary Care Research Methods& Statistics Conference, December 3-5, 2004, The Menger Hotel: Background. There is continuing need to expand research capacity in the primary care setting. Purpose. The purpose of the Primary Care Research Methods& Statistics Conference is to increase capacity in primary care research by: 1) helping novice researchers develop basic research skills; and 2) helping experienced researchers expand their repertoire of research methodologies. AHRQ Conference Objectives. The Primary Care Research Methods& Statistics Conference is designed to address AHRQ conference objectives. 1) Research Development, 2) Design and Methodology, and 3) Dissemination. The conference is particularly interested in soliciting sessions on new and/or emerging methodologies in the area of primary care research. Methods. For novice researchers, the conference is designed to help develop basic research skills such as planning, conducting, and communicating results of simple research studies. This goal will be addressed through the Methods Workshop for the Novice Researcher, the basic Methodology track, the AHRQ Review of Concept Papers Workshop, the Research Career Planning panel discussion, and opportunities for networking with intermediate and experienced researchers present at the conference. For experienced researchers, the conference is designed to expand their repertoire of research techniques and statistical approaches to help them conduct high quality, sophisticated studies addressing complex questions in primary care. This goal will be addressed through the pre-conference Experienced Workshop (usually on an advanced statistics topic), the Statistics track, the Thematic track, the Dissection of Innovative Studies Workshop, the Plenary Sessions, and the Methodological Think Tank process. Evaluation. Each conference session is evaluated by attendees and a session Moderator. The Moderator also evaluates the presenter's speaking abilities. Finally, each attendee is asked to complete a summative evaluation of the conference, which also solicits their input regarding future conference themes, potential speakers, and possible content tracks. Evaluations are collated and considered by the multidisciplinary Program Committee during the planning stage of each year's conference.
