Propensity score adjustments using covariates in observational studies

Creator:: Yang, Daniel K.
Abstract:: In this thesis we develop a theoretical framework for the identification of situations where the equal frequency (EF) or equal variance (EV) subclassification may produce lower bias and/or variance of the estimator. We conduct simulation studies to examine the EF and EV approaches under different types of model misspecification. We...

Examining Evidence-based Intervention Sustainability and De-adoption in the Context of HIV Prevention

Creator:: McKay, Virginia R.
Abstract:: Evidence-based interventions (EBIs), which demonstrate efficacy in research settings, are rarely sustained when implemented in public health organizations. Rather, EBIs are often de-adopted - potentially undermining the positive benefits of the EBIs for the communities that access them. The lack of sustainability is particularly troubling among public health organizations that...

Physical Activity Promotion for Emerging Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Transitioning from High School into the Community: A Virtual Intervention Grounded in Self-Determination Theory

Creator:: Raja Vora, Joseline
Abstract:: People with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) engage in lesser physical activity (PA) and more time in sedentary activities as compared to those without disabilities.
