4542—Elegant
Alternatives to Randomized Trials To Estimate Treatment
Effects
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Thomas B. Newman, San Francisco, CA
Randomized trials are the most reliable method of
estimating treatment effects, but they may be impractical
and costly. In this workshop we will review some elegant
observational designs and strategies that can provide a
strength of causal inference close to that from randomized
trials, both more quickly and less expensively. We will
begin with a discussion of some of these strategies,
presenting specific observational studies and trying to
figure out what, if anything, makes them particularly
convincing. In the second half of the workshop,
participants will work together in small groups to design
observational studies of research questions for which one
of the covered designs or strategies might be suitable.
This is an intermediate to advanced workshop.
Participants should already be familiar with basic
observational study designs, multivariate analysis and
concepts like bias, confounding and interaction.
Objectives:
-
Understand how propensity scores and instrumental
variables can be used to control confounding.
-
Understand how measurements of additional predictor
and outcome variables can provide evidence on whether
confounding is present.
Method of Instruction: Lecture with multiple real
examples, followed by small group problem solving (unless
group is too big and prefers not to, as happened last
year).
Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty, mid-level
faculty

Community-acquired, methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcal disease has been reported with increasing
frequency from multiple geographic locations in the United
States over the past several years. This symposium will
present current data on the epidemiology, molecular
genetics and clinical aspects of these evolving pathogens,
as well as on infection control practices that may be
useful for prevention.
Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians from the
following disciplines: pediatric infectious disease,
community pediatricians, pediatric ER and public health.

Infectious Diseases Society and the Pediatric Academic
Societies

and Analysis of Childhood Cohort Studies
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Cynthia Minkovitz, Baltimore, MD; Co-leaders: Jennifer
Hawes-Dawson, Kamila Mistry, Amy Rathbun, Mark Schuster,
Jerry West
Childhood longitudinal cohort studies provide
opportunities to examine environmental influences on
children's health over time. They also inform
understanding of developmental trajectories and design of
sound policies and programs.
This workshop introduces three prospective cohort
studies with public use data. The Healthy Steps for Young
Children evaluation follows 5,565 families whose young
children received enhanced developmental services. The
Early Childhood Longitudinal Studies follows 10,600
newborns and 22,000 kindergarteners to study development,
health, child care and education. Healthy Passages follows
5,250 10-year olds and describes evolving adolescent
behaviors.
Participants will review methodological
considerations related to sampling design, variable
specification, data collection timing and cohort
maintenance. Using interactive breakout groups,
participants will propose strategies and challenges for
using cohort studies to address new research questions.
Objectives:
-
Knowledge of three childhood cohort studies and their
public use data sets.
-
Skills related to strategic issues with cohort
studies (e.g., sampling, variable specification,
tracking, cohort maintenance).
Method of Instruction: (1) Interactive discussion of
three childhood cohort studies with question-and-answer
period incorporated, (2) facilitated breakout groups to
apply principles of cohort design to address new research
questions
Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty
