"A "health disparity" refers to a higher burden of illness, injury, disability, or mortality experienced by one group relative to another due to age, income, race, etc. This will focus on estimation, classical approaches, quantification of disparity, formal modelling, to modern approaches with more flexible computational approaches"--

A health disparity refers to a higher burden of illness, injury, disability, or mortality experienced by one group relative to others attributable to multiple factors including socioeconomic status, environmental factors, insufficient access to health care, individual risk factors and behaviors and inequalities in education.



A health disparity refers to a higher burden of illness, injury, disability, or mortality experienced by one group relative to others attributable to multiple factors including socioeconomic status, environmental factors, insufficient access to health care, individual risk factors, and behaviors and inequalities in education. These disparities may be due to many factors including age, income, and race. Statistical Methods in Health Disparity Research will focus on their estimation, ranging from classical approaches including the quantification of a disparity, to more formal modeling, to modern approaches involving more flexible computational approaches.

Features:

  • Presents an overview of methods and applications of health disparity estimation
  • First book to synthesize research in this field in a unified statistical framework
  • Covers classical approaches, and builds to more modern computational techniques
  • Includes many worked examples and case studies using real data
  • Discusses available software for estimation

The book is designed primarily for researchers and graduate students in biostatistics, data science, and computer science. It will also be useful to many quantitative modelers in genetics, biology, sociology, and epidemiology.

Recenzijos

Raos book provides useful technical guidance, along with important substantive context that will be helpful to statisticians who seek to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams or who are pursuing health disparities statistical methods researchOverall, I enjoyed reading this book and expect to use it as a reference moving forward. I was pleased by Raos inclusion of a variety of methods given the multiple data types encountered in disparity research, including surveys. This enhances the books unique contribution. Rao took on a broad and ambitious topic with this book, so there will inevitably be topics missing from here in the view of some readers. Course instructors and other readers should be prepared to augment the information provided with supplementary materials. An instructor with expertise in statistical research aimed toward identifying health disparities should have no problem doing so.
