Dunn's test is the appropriate nonparametric pairwise multiple-comparison procedure when a Kruskal–Wallis rejected, and it now implemented for Stata in dunntest command. produces multiple comparisons following k-way by using Stata's built-in kwallis It includes options to control familywise error rate proposed Bonferroni adjustment, Šidák Holm stepwise or Holm–Šidák adjustment. There also an option false discovery Benjamini–Hochberg
Horn's parallel analysis (PA) is the method of consensus in literature on empirical methods for deciding how many components/factors to retain. Different authors have proposed various implementations PA. seminal 1965 article, a 1996 article by Thompson and Daniel, 2004 Hayton, Allen, Scarpello all make assertions about requisite distributional forms random data generated use Readily available software used test whether results PA are sensitive several prescriptions regarding rank, normality,...
I present paran, an implementation of Horn's parallel analysis criteria for factor or component retention in common principal Stata. The command permits classical and more recent extensions to it the pca commands. paran provides a needed extension Stata's built-in factor- component-retention criteria.
To estimate homicide rates of transgender US residents and relative risks (RRs) with respect to cisgender comparators intersected age, gender, race/ethnicity.I estimated for transfeminine, Black, Latin@, young (aged 15-34 years) subpopulations during the period 2010 2014 using Transgender Day Remembrance National Coalition Anti-Violence Programs data. I used prevalences RRs comparators. performed a sensitivity analysis situate all results within assumptions about underreporting homicides...
Conflation of the terms and concepts "sex" "gender" continues to perpetuate invisibility sex gender minorities obscure information about ways in which biological affect health. The misuse binaries can yield inaccurate results but also, more importantly, contributes erasure intersex, transgender, nonbinary, agender health experiences. In this article, we discuss public researchers use correctly center experiences individuals. This includes promoting sensitivity approaching minority...
Background Large state tobacco control programs have been shown to reduce smoking and would be expected affect health care costs. We investigate the effect of California's large-scale program on aggregate personal expenditures in state. Methods Findings Cointegrating regressions were used predict (1) difference per capita cigarette consumption between California 38 states as a function cumulative programs, (2) relationship 1980 2004. Between 1989 (when it started) 2004, was associated with...
Background The National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) conducted extensive all-stakeholder inherited bleeding disorder (BD) community consultations to inform a blueprint for future research. Sustaining and expanding the specialized comprehensive Treatment Center care model, better serve all people with BDs (PWIBD), increasing equitable access optimal health emerged as top priorities.Research Design Methods NHF, American Thrombosis Hemostasis Network (ATHN), convened multidisciplinary expert...
As federal strategic plans prioritize increasing diversity within the biomedical workforce, and STEM training outreach programs seek to recruit retain students from historically underrepresented populations, there is a need for interrogation of traditional demographic descriptors careful consideration best practices obtaining data. To accelerate this work, equity-focused researchers leaders convened examine approaches measuring variables. Gender, race/ethnicity, disability, disadvantaged...
Marriage benefits both individuals and societies, is a fundamental determinant of health. Until recently same sex couples have been excluded from legally recognized marriage in the United States. Recent debate around legalization has highlighted for anti-same advocates policy makers concern that allowing to marry will lead decrease opposite marriages. Our objective model state trends rates by implementation marriages other unions.Marriage data were obtained all fifty states plus District...
Background Psoriasis Quality of Life (PQoL-12) is a validated composite tool assessing patients' quality life (QoL) with psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Routine Assessment Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3), measuring physical function, pain, patient global assessment, used for rheumatoid arthritis. has not been to assess PsO/PsA QoL. Objective The aim this study was investigate the correlation between PQoL-12 RAPID3 in PsO PsA patients cross-sectional longitudinal analyses....
