NURS 817 LONGITUDINAL DESIGNS IN HEALTH CARE RESEARCH
Designs in which multiple observations of one or more variables made on a single person or unit (repeated measures designs) or subjects are followed for a long period of time are of particular importance in nursing and health care research. The course will examine several of the more commonly used longitudinal analyses, including ANOVA, linear mixed models, and survival analysis. Designs involving repeated measures on more than one dependent variable, fixed and random effects, and time to event will be considered. Emphasis will be placed on selecting the appropriate design, statistical procedure, and computer program for addressing a given research problem. Small research exercises requiring both computation and interpretation will be assigned in order to promote desired learning.
