Capacity Building Webinar: Statistical methods in social care research
Event Information
About this Event
The NIHR Statistics Group was formed to support statisticians to share expertise, facilitate communication and collaboration. The Group also aims to provide opportunities for career development.
As part of NIHR SSCR's capacity-building programme, we are exploring the usefulness of setting up a working group focused on statistical methods for adult social care research.
The Webinar will involve two presentations followed by discussion:
The good, the bad and the ugly: reflections from conducting a trial in social care
Professor Catherine Hewitt, York Trials Unit
Social care data: challenges and opportunities for evaluation
Dr Jose-Luis Fernandez, Care Policy and Evaluation Centre, LSE
This Webinar will provide an opportunity to:
1) discuss and share experiences of the use of new and established statistical methods in social care research;
2) discuss routinely collected and other statistical data on adult social care; and
3) explore interest in establishing a NIHR Statistics Working Group for Social Care, and discuss its scope, objectives and activities.
This Webinar is open to anyone working in or interested in adult social care research with a focus on statistical methods.
NIHR SSCR's Webinars are free to attend with pre-registration.
The NIHR SSCR Capacity Building Events Series is supported by the NIHR Academy and the Department of Health and Social Care.
