Survival Analysis, Censoring and Time Scales
This webinar is part of the Advanced Methods Webinar Series
Survival analysis or time-to-event analyses have been popularized for making predictions about future events based on some exposure in the past. The methods are familiar to epidemiologists but also to actuarial scientists / insurance companies to estimate risk.
Does attending a specialist lipid clinic reduce rates of adverse cardiovascular events?
Data access has been approved for a project to determine whether attending the Healthy Heart Program Prevention Clinic (HHPPC), at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, is associated with reduced rates of adverse cardiovascular events, compared to patients who did not attend the clinic.
Fraser Health Research Week

Can a better understanding of the ‘forgotten valve’ help patients with heart disease?
The tricuspid valve, on the right side of the heart, separates the upper and lower chambers, also known as the right atrium and right ventricle. The valve allows deoxygenated blood to flow through both of the chambers. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, where it is oxygenated.

Testimonial - PHDA 06 Health Services Program Monitoring and Evaluation
"For my current job role, PHDA 06 evaluation course reinforced work planning, stakeholder engagement planning, and reporting planning skills -- their corresponding activities are prevalent at my job."
Testimonial - PHDA, Frederick Langshaw
- How did you learn about the program and what motivated you to enroll in the PHDA course(s) you chose?
-
I learned about the program from observing LinkedIn profiles of people working in health research, public health, and at health authorities. At the time, I only had some work experience somewhat related to health but no health degrees and was experiencing difficulty ‘getting my foot in the door’ without the latter.
Testimonial - PHDA overall course
The strengths of the program are the course offerings (which are attractive at first glance), the instructors, the practical work/applications, and the support/information network of peers. The work with PopData data was very engaging and a privilege – I hope that continues to be offered.
Testimonial - PHDA overall course
"I would like to recommend PHDA courses to others. I believe the program is very practical and useful to those working in the public health field. It provides a good opportunity for the development of a future career plan.
I learned how to use several popular software programs such as SAS, R, ArcGIS and Mplus. All of them are very helpful. The PHDA 06 course about Health Services Program Monitoring and Evaluation helped me evaluate my work program. "
