Save the Date: 2018 CNR Summer Institute

 

From Thursday, July 19 through Friday, July 20, the Center for Nursing Research is hosting a Summer Institute: Methods and Analytics for Symptom Science Research to support symptom science researchers and analysts who wish to explore advanced techniques for statistics modeling and data analysis. The two-day workshop will consist of an overview of cutting edge analytical techniques to explore symptom prevalence, severity and changes across time. 

Symptom science researchers, statisticians, analysts and team science members will benefit greatly from the two-day workshop. Innovative approaches to mixed methods research designs will be included to emphasize points of integration between qualitative and quantitative data. Study example presentation will emphasize the most common patient-reported symptom experiences in subjects with heart failure, HIV/AIDS, or childhood cancer. Examples will include an overview of each study followed by in-depth exploration of various methods used to examine symptom measures.

The Summer Institute will focus on the following objectives:

  • Review completed research studies that showcase in-depth statistical modeling with innovative data analytics to explore symptom experiences in individuals with chronic illness issues.
  • Demonstrate how to integrate phenotypic and biomarker characteristics in symptom measures to provide a multi-dimensional approach to symptom science analysis.
  • Explore various innovative statistical techniques available to analyze symptoms experiences.
  • Investigate points of integration between qualitative and quantitative data to explore mixed methods approaches to symptom experiences.

The cost for the Summer Institute is $75 for students, $100 for Duke affiliated faculty, researchers and analysts and $400 for non-Duke affiliated persons.
