GRAPPA Epidemiologic Methods and Study Design: A Primer and Update

Thursday, July 11, 2024 / 07:00AM - 13:00PM PST

Sheraton Grand - Seattle Washington

Room TBD

Immediately preceding the upcoming 2024 GRAPPA Annual Meeting in Seattle, an in-depth short course in Epidemiology will be available to a limited number of GRAPPA Members. This course will equip participants with a foundational understanding of key concepts that can be applied to enhance the design, implementation, and analysis of GRAPPA (and other) studies. A nominal below-cost fee for this event is required at the time of registration.

Course Content

The course will provide a brief introduction to some key issues in Epidemiology including:

Study Design 

Choosing the most appropriate study design for your research question, budget and timelines; the opportunities and challenges of “real-world evidence.”

Methodological Issues

Including bias and confounding; specific issues in studying PsA and PsO; associations and causality.

Analysis

Introduction to statistical models.

These topics have been informed by a survey of GRAPPA members conducted prior to the GRAPPA 2023 Annual Meeting. The format will be a series of short lectures led by Professor Gary Macfarlane, Professor Gareth Jones, Dr. Alexis Ogdie, and Dr. Lihi Eder, followed by the opportunity to attend two of four “hands-on” sessions in which delegates will have an opportunity to discuss in more detail a particular topic and tackle a challenge in that area. By the end of the course delegates will have had “taster” of key areas in Epidemiology.
