Improving Health Research on Small Populations: Proceedings of a Workshop

AUTHOR Board on Health Care Services; National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine; Health and Medicine Division
PUBLISHER National Academies Press (08/02/2018)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

The increasing diversity of population of the United States presents many challenges to conducting health research that is representative and informative. Dispersion and accessibility issues can increase logistical costs; populations for which it is difficult to obtain adequate sample size are also likely to be expensive to study. Hence, even if it is technically feasible to study a small population, it may not be easy to obtain the funding to do so. In order to address the issues associated with improving health research of small populations, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop in January 2018. Participants considered ways of addressing the challenges of conducting epidemiological studies or intervention research with small population groups, including alternative study designs, innovative methodologies for data collection, and innovative statistical techniques for analysis.
