QMC Spring 2023 Speaker Series: Presentation by Stephen Gavazzi (Zoom)
Friday, March 10, 12:00pm – 1:00pm: Dr. Stephen Gavazzi, Director, Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR)
Title: Data and Samples Available Through CHRR at The Ohio State University: The National Longitudinal Studies, Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive, and the American Population Panel
Dr. Stephen Gavazzi
Stephen M. Gavazzi, Ph.D. is Director of CHRR at The Ohio State University, as well as a professor in the College of Education and Human Ecology at Ohio State. Dr. Gavazzi is responsible for the overall operations of CHRR, which serves as Ohio State’s center for data and survey excellence. His areas of expertise include a variety of topics within human development and family science (he is a trained marriage and family therapist), with a special emphasis on matters concerning families with adolescents. Professor Gavazzi also has a strong interest in issues surrounding higher education, including leadership, campus-community relationships, and the mission of land-grant universities. His latest book (What’s Public About Public Higher Ed? published in 2021 by Johns Hopkins University Press) was based on survey data collected using CHRR’s American Population Panel.
About CHRR
CHRR at The Ohio State University supports two large longitudinal databases – the National Longitudinal Studies (NLS) and the Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive (OLDA) – as well as housing the American Population Panel (APP), a group of 45,000+ volunteer members who have agreed to participate in social science and health related studies for research purposes. CHRR Director Steve Gavazzi will present information on these databases and related research tools that are available to researchers and policymakers through Ohio State’s center for survey and data excellence.

QMC Spring 2023 Speaker Series: Presentation by Paul Wesson (Zoom)
Friday, February 24, 12:00pm – 1:00pm: Paul Wesson, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, University of California, San Francisco
Dr. Paul Wesson
Dr. Paul Wesson is an epidemiologist focused on quantifying the health burdens of (and disparities related to) hard-to-reach and socially marginalized populations, particularly as they relate to infectious diseases. His research expertise includes developing and using data driven methods for sampling hard-to-reach and “hidden” populations, population size estimation methods, and using advanced epidemiologic and statistical techniques to study the social determinants of health. He sees his research as existing at the nexus of infectious disease, data science, and social epidemiology; as such, he incorporates theories and principles from social epidemiology to inform and guide his study designs and analyses (e.g. intersectionality, minority stress theory).
Specifically, as an HIV researcher, his research agenda relates to the unique challenges of sampling hard-to-reach populations for HIV surveillance, and leverages information from the sampling process (and survey data) to generate estimates of the population size. Valid estimates of the population size are a key component of biomedical informatics and epidemiological analyses (providing a denominator for the population at risk) and inform how and where limited public health resources should be targeted. As part of his research on population size estimation, he has also developed novel population size estimation methods to correct for known biases. Additionally, Paul is interested in extending his research to include geo-spatial analysis and clinical data to further examine contextual and structural determinants of disparities in health outcomes.
Spring 2023 QMC Workshop: Introduction to the Dependent Samples t-test and Repeated Measures ANOVA (Zoom)
Group Mean Comparison Workshop Series
Two-Part series-Workshops on group mean comparison by the EHE Quantitative Methodology Center (QMC)
The QMC is offering a two-part series on common group mean comparison methods in social sciences. These workshops will occur from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm on Wednesday, February 8th and Wednesday, February 22nd. The overall goals of the workshop series are to introduce how and in which research context to use different group mean comparison methods, including the independent sample t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), dependent sample t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA. These workshops do not require previous knowledge of the group mean comparison; however, having some experience with an introduction to statistics and SPSS is beneficial. Both workshops are free. Read below for more information about each workshop. You may register for either or both workshops, but you must register for each workshop separately.
Workshop 2: Introduction to the Dependent Samples t-test and Repeated Measures ANOVA, Wednesday, February 22nd, from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm
This session will cover an introduction to the dependent samples t-test and repeated measures ANOVA. During the workshop, the instructor will perform how to do these analyses in SPSS. Join us for this FREE virtual hands-on workshop! Presented by the EHE QMC. Participants should have their own laptop with SPSS already installed.
Registration will be open soon!
