Estimation of opioid misuse prevalence in New York State counties, 2007-2018. A Bayesian spatio-temporal abundance model approach
In this study, we used a Bayesian hierarchical spatio-temporal integrated abundance model that integrates multiple types of county-level surveillance outcome data, state-level information on opioid misuse, and covariates to estimate the latent (hidden) counts and prevalence of PWMO across New York State counties (2007-2018). The model assumes that each opioid-related outcome reflects a partial count of the number of PWMO, and leverages these multiple sources of data to circumvent limitations of parameter estimation associated with other types of abundance models. Model estimates showed a reduction in the prevalence of PWMO...

Quasi-experimental methods for pharmacoepidemiology: difference-in-differences and synthetic control methods with case studies for vaccine evaluation
Am J Epidemiol. 2024 Mar 7:kwae019. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwae019. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDifference-in-differences and synthetic control methods have become common study designs for evaluating the effects of policy changes, including health policies. They also have potential for providing real-world effectiveness and safety evidence in pharmacoepidemiology. To effectively add to the toolkit of the field, however, designs-including both their benefits and drawbacks-must be well understood. Quasi-experimental designs provide an opportunity to estimate the average treatment effect on the treated without requiring the measu...

Combining information to answer epidemiological questions about a target population
Am J Epidemiol. 2024 Mar 7:kwad014. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwad014. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpidemiologists are attempting to address research questions of increasing complexity by developing novel methods for combining information from diverse sources. Cole et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2022;XXX(XX):XXXX-XXXX) provide two examples of combining information to draw inferences about a population proportion. In this commentary, we consider combining information to learn about a target population as an epidemiological activity and distinguish it from more conventional meta-analyses. We examine possible rationales for combining infor...
