Design and analysis of interrupted time series studies in health care research: Resolution of methodological issues [ 2009 - 2012 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Andrew Forbes (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Catherine Forbes ,  Dr Craig Ramsay

Brief description An interrupted time series (ITS) study involves a population observed on multiple occasions before and after the implementation of an intervention program. However, methods for statistical analysis and designing such studies have not been well developed and many statistical analyses of such studies are flawed. This proposal will investigate appropriate methods for design and analysis, and develop guidelines and software for its implementation by health researchers.
