Monin , Ph.D. Associate Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences Yale School of Public Health Tuesday, May 4, 2021 Noon-1pm Virtual (Zoom) This Seminar contributes to achieving one or more of the CTSA core competencies in the category of Statistical Approaches. Abstract: Emotion, cognition, and behavior of persons living with Alzheimer’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) and their care partners are highly related and influence each other over time, with important implications for both partners’ health. Thus, it is important to account for interrelations in this data in the design and analysis of observational studies as well as clinical trials. In this talk, I will highlight dyadic processes related to support provision and receipt in AD/ADRD caregiving, provide definitions of dyadic versus proxy designs and measures, and explain common approaches to analyzing dyadic data. I will us the Families Coping Together with AD Study to provide an example of concepts and analysis plans. Participating TRCC Institutions include: UTMB, UTHSC-Houston, UTHSC-San Antonio, and UT Southwestern For Zoom Webinar information please contact Casey Sendejas Date: Tuesday, May 4, 2021 Times: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM; Location: Virtual (Zoom) Audience: Administration Education Research Hospital Clinics Staff Students Faculty Cost: 0.00; Categories...
