The Secure Research Environment (SRE) is a Population Data BC service which provides Researchers with a central location for access to and processing of research data, secure storage and back up of their data extract and free software for data analysis.
We can provide secure, long-term storage of old versions of data for historical reference.
We have a process in place to store archival copies of research extracts for Researchers, in order to meet Research Ethics Board (REB) requirements, without expecting retention and access of data past a Data Provider’s approved retention date.
Spatial data is the focus of GIS: what can we learn from our spatial data? In this webinar series you will learn key GIS techniques used in the world today.

Data access has been approved for a project to evaluate a pharmacist-initiated adherence intervention effort for asthma patients that involves education, monthly text messages and pharmacist follow-up of non-adherent patients.
Despite not being collected for research purposes, administrative health data (e.g., outpatient physician billings, hospitalizations, and prescription drug data) are increasingly being used in epidemiological analyses.
This webinar will discuss the options for including continuous covariates in a regression model, and in particular, methods for modeling non-linear relationships. In his book, 'Clinical Prediction Models,' Ewout Steyerberg presents a hierarchy of procedures for including a continuous predictor, starting with dichotomizing the variable and moving to modeling the variable using restricted cubi
