Modeling tools and methods used in public health research provide innovative avenues that aid in translating research data to inform policy. Translational modeling can contribute to chronic disease prevention, forecasting outcomes, and increasing access to treatment. Advancements in data modernization further highlight the importance of modeling methods to predict critical public health issues to improve responsiveness.
In this session, experts from RTI will discuss examples of addressing public health needs through the application of novel tools, the methodologies that were used, how they worked with practitioner partners, and the resulting outcomes of these projects. These impact summaries will point to why data modernization is becoming an important focus at the Institute, leading to the establishment of the Center for Data Modernization Solutions at RTI. This presentation will be followed by a discussion with the audience.
