Using administrative data to support Ontario's COVID-19 response
This webinar is part of the Advanced Methods Webinar Series
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, real-time data and analytics have been important to both understanding the virus’ impact on populations and health systems and informing the public health response. The unprecedented need for timely, relevant analytics presented challenges to many health systems.
Testimonial - PHDA 03 Population Health and Geographical Information Systems
"I found PHDA 03 (Population Health and Geographic Information Systems) very interesting as it provided applicable GIS uses for health services research. I plan on increasingly incorporating GIS analyses in my health services research in order to understand another dimension of care accessibility during the end-of-life phase. "
Testimonial - PHDA 05 Longitudinal Analysis and Multi-level Modelling of Population Health Data
"I found PHDA 05 (Longitudinal Analysis and Multi-level Modelling of Population Health Data) to be the most rewarding as it exposed me to higher level quantitative analyses."
Testimonial - PHDA overall course
Overall, I had a positive program experience. I greatly appreciated the asynchronous format as it allowed me to develop my skills without risking my other professional commitments. I believe the skills I have learned through this program will be directly relevant to my current research interests. The PHDA program is a great program for anyone who is interested in further exploring population-level analyses."
Testimonial - PHDA, Abe Hafid
- How did you learn about the program and what motivated you to enroll in the PHDA course(s) you chose?
-
I learned about the PHDA program through researching continuing education certificates focused on population-level health administrative analysis. I was motivated to do so as I am particularly interested in health services research during the end-of-life phase.

Sensing pedestrian flows for real-time assessment of non-pharmaceutical policy interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic
This webinar is part of the Power of Population Data Science Series
Reducing the number of social contacts within a population has shown to be an effective measure to reduce the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Some prominent non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have been, e.g., stay-at-home orders or closing schools/businesses.
Splink: a software package for probabilistic record linkage and deduplication at scale
This webinar is part of the Power of Population Data Science Series
In this seminar, we will introduce Splink, a software package developed for probabilistic record linkage at scale.
This is free software provides a toolkit for record linkage of datasets of tens or even hundreds of millions of records, guiding the user through the various stages of linkage, including:
