Dispersion and accessibility issues can increase logistical costs; populations for which it is difficult to obtain adequate sample size are also likely to be expensive to study. Hence, even if it is technically feasible to study a small population, it may not be easy to obtain the funding to do so. In order to address the issues associated with improving health research of small populations, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop in January 2018. Participants considered ways of addressing the challenges of conducting epidemiological studies or intervention research with small population groups, including alternative study designs, innovative methodologies for data collection, and innovative statistical techniques for analysis"--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed August 30, 2018) Subject Health surveys -- United States -- Statistical methods -- Congresses Public health -- Research -- United States -- Methodology -- Congresses Data Collection Public health.
