We used a different methodologic approach in our study in terms of how we measured segregation, derived area-level SES measures, and developed our statistical models, yet the consistency of results between these two segregation studies is noteworthy.
In animal models, reliable methodologic approaches to assess PMN recruitment in the lung can elucidate the different mechanisms of PMN trafficking in the intravascular, interstitial, and alveolar compartments.
Moreover, the robustness of the results was confirmed by exploring the variation in methodologic approaches (ITT and PPA sensitivity analyses).
Members of the arsenic breakout group carefully evaluated differences in methodologic approaches used to analyze general population studies, including NHANES National Health Nutritionn and Examination Survey) studies, trying to understand the biology and technical limitations of biomarkers of inorganic arsenic exposure measured in urine, as well as their implications for study findings.
First, despite our careful methodologic approach, as in all observational studies, there remains risk of bias and misclassification.
Methodologic approaches to the measurement of β-amyloid in the brain vary between investigators, and these differences affect outcome measures.
A major gap in the existing literature involves the appropriate methodologic approaches for planning, evaluating, and reporting on dissemination efforts for effective and promising interventions in these locations.
In this article we describe the methodologic approaches of the Pew Environmental Health Commission at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health used to identify priority environmental health conditions and develop recommendations to establish a national environmental public health tracking network.
In this article, we present a series of methodologic approaches used to identify priority health conditions for environmental health tracking and develop the recommendations of the Pew Commission.
At the same time, the survey revealed deficiencies, including the need for a) monitoring of impacts and mitigation efficacy, b) methodologic approaches to cumulative impact assessment, c) earlier consideration of environmental impacts in the planning process, and d) a more integrated consideration of biophysical and social impacts.
