Synergy of Biostatistics and Epidemiology in Air Pollution Health Effects Studies
本文回顾了哈佛大学公共卫生学院过去五十年在空气污染健康效应研究中,流行病学设计与统计方法协同发展的历史,展示了这些创新如何推动美国空气质量改善。
The extraordinary advances in quantifying the health effects of ambient air pollution over the last five decades have led to dramatic improvement in air quality in the United States. This work has been possible through innovative epidemiologic study designs coupled with advanced statistical analytic methods. This paper presents a historical perspective on the coordinated developments of epidemiologic designs and statistical methods for air pollution health effects studies at the Harvard School of Public Health.
