A Report From The Forum Session “Implementing The Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit: Continuing Challenges For States”, Lee Partridge

National Health Policy Forum

This National Health Policy Forum Meeting Report provides an overview and discussion of a technical session that took place on July 12, 2005.

Direct Effect Models, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Maya L. Petersen Aug 2005

Direct Effect Models, Mark J. Van Der Laan, Maya L. Petersen

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

The causal effect of a treatment on an outcome is generally mediated by several intermediate variables. Estimation of the component of the causal effect of a treatment that is mediated by a given intermediate variable (the indirect effect of the treatment), and the component that is not mediated by that intermediate variable (the direct effect of the treatment) is often relevant to mechanistic understanding and to the design of clinical and public health interventions. Under the assumption of no-unmeasured confounders for treatment and the intermediate variable, Robins & Greenland (1992) define an individual direct effect as the counterfactual effect of …

Clinical Preventive Services: When Is The Juice Worth The Squeeze?, Eileen Salinsky

National Health Policy Forum

This paper provides an overview of clinical preventive services, including a definition of such services and the role of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in recommending which services should be routinely offered to patients.

Barriers to increased uptake of appropriate services are discussed and policy relevant issues are summarized.


Dynamic Effects Of Antibody-Dependent Enhancement On The Fitness Of Viruses, Derek Cummings, Ira Schwartz, Lora Billings, Leah Shaw, Donald Burke Aug 2005

Dynamic Effects Of Antibody-Dependent Enhancement On The Fitness Of Viruses, Derek Cummings, Ira Schwartz, Lora Billings, Leah Shaw, Donald Burke

Department of Mathematics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE), a phenomenon in which viral replication is increased rather than decreased by immune sera, has been observed in vitro for a large number of viruses of public health importance, including flaviviruses, coronaviruses, and retroviruses. The most striking in vivo example of ADE in humans is dengue hemorrhagic fever, a disease in which ADE is thought to increase the severity of clinical manifestations of dengue virus infection by increasing virus replication. We examine the epidemiological impact of ADE on the prevalence and persistence of viral serotypes. Using a dynamical system model of n cocirculating dengue serotypes, we find …
