The vendor may require travels for communications with NCHS, CDC to obtain background information on the project. TASKS TO BE PERFORMED 1. Develop statistical methodologies for using data from multiple sources to profile health prevalence, specifically for mortality data: a. Determine for what group (domain) estimates should be produced - for example, groups defined by county, HSA, geocode, SES, demographic variables (age, race, sex, education); b. Methods for statistical tests of differences between/among groups; c. Methods for profiling health outcomes (analyzing the relationship between various variables and health outcome). d. Effective statistical testing methods for combining data of different types or from different sources. 2. Provide consulting services to ORM researches in similar subjects with statistical methods for multiple data sources: a. Consultations on data preparation, including but not limited to availability and access to EPA data files, linking variables and key variables related to human health problems in these files, references from previous studies, and necessary assessment of data qualities. b. Consultations on statistical tools for information integration, such as Meta analysis, multiple criteria decision making (MCDM), data envelopment analysis (DEA), spatial analysis, statistical surveillance procedures, etc. 3.
