YSPH Biostatistics: Colin White Memorial Lecture: “Protocols for Observational Studies: Methods and a Gun Violence Prevention Study”
Title: “Protocols for Observational Studies: Methods and a Gun Violence Prevention Study”
Abstract. One strength of a well conducted randomized clinical trial, besides its use of randomization, is that it follows a protocol that describes the design of the trial and a plan for its analysis. For observational studies, protocols are equally valuable but less commonly used. We will discuss methods for observational study protocols in the context of an observational study about the effect of police seizing a gun when arresting a domestic violence suspect on future domestic violence.
