Data and Statistics Core

核心摘要/摘要 数据和统计核心将满足基本需求，以确保ASPIRE(先进科学和 零售环境中的实践)中心将实现其使命，建立支持创新的证据 社区中的烟草控制方法。实现三个项目规定的目标的关键是 访问经过管理、集成和可分析的数据，以及支持研究设计和数据分析 庞大而复杂的数据。例如，调查人员要求获得大城市4.3万家零售商的数据 以及随时间推移的11539个人口普查轨迹和学校边界形状文件。核心的具体目标是 因此，要管理和管理地理空间数据以表征建成环境中随时间的变化， 烟草在美国和30个大城市；集成由共享的主要和次要数据源 整个ASPIRE中心的研究团队；并提供地理信息系统(GIS)支持和 提供统计指导，加强ASPIRE中心的研究和传播目标。为了实现其目标， 核心将采用开源、安全、基于Web的工具，例如用于住房和集成共享的Recap 数据，适用于分析大型和复杂地理空间数据的统计技术，如LAG 回归和广义线性混合效应模型，以及地理信息系统编程方面的专业知识。核心包括 一支在创新研究设计、纵向建模、信息学和数据方面拥有丰富经验的一流团队 地理信息系统软件中的集成、地理空间建模和编程。重要的是，核心的运作将 在很大程度上依赖于核心成员应充分融入 以及在基础设施支助方面，以便最大限度地满足项目相关数据的要求 需要。为此，每个项目以及传播和执行核心由三个代表 核心的主要成员。通过解决其目标，数据和统计核心将确保 ASPIRE的科学目标，通过为研究项目建立共享数据源，提供具体的 在地理空间建模、设计研究、实施分析和提供负责人方面的专业知识 为传播而解读。

Core Summary/Abstract The Data & Statistics Core will fulfill an essential need to ensure that the ASPiRE (Advancing Science and Practice in the Retail Environment) Center will achieve its mission to build evidence supporting innovative tobacco control approaches in communities. Critical for carrying out the aims specified by the three projects is the access to curated, integrated, and analyzable data as well as support for study design and data analysis of big and complex data. For example, investigators require access to data on 43,000 retailers in the big cities and 11,539 census tracks and school boundary shape files over time. The specific goals of the Core are therefore to curate and manage geospatial data for characterizing change over time in the built environment for tobacco in the US and 30 Big Cities; to integrate primary and secondary data sources that are shared by research teams across the ASPiRE Center; and to provide geographic information systems (GIS) support and statistical guidance to enhance the research and dissemination aims of the ASPiRE Center. To meet its goals, the Core will employ open-source secure web-based tools such as RECap for housing and integrating shared data, statistical techniques appropriate for the analysis of big and complex geospatial data such as lag regression and generalized linear mixed effects models, and expertise in GIS programming. The Core includes a stellar team with extensive experience in innovative study design, longitudinal modeling, informatics and data integration, geospatial modeling, and programming in GIS software. Importantly, the operation of the Core will rely heavily on the philosophy that Core members should be fully integrated into the research teams of the respective projects as well as in the infrastructural support in order to optimally meet the projects’ data-related needs. To that end, each project as well as the Dissemination & Implementation Core is represented by three key members of the Core. By addressing its aims, the Data & Statistics Core will ensure the success of the scientific goals for ASPiRE by establishing shared data sources for the Research Projects, providing specific expertise on geospatial modeling, designing studies, implementing analyses, and providing principal interpretation for dissemination.
