“In this seminar, I will focus on two popular quasi-experimental approaches for evaluating interventions using secondary data: difference in difference and interrupted time series. I will briefly outline the methodological assumptions of each of the models, the data required for analysis, and associated sensitivity analysis. I will then give some practical examples from my research using the two approaches and why each approach was chosen.”

Heather Brown is Professor of Health Inequalities at Lancaster University. Her research expertise is in applied economics. Her interests include the causes and consequences of health inequalities and evaluating policies that mitigate or exacerbate these inequalities. She is interested in understanding how both structural level factors and policy impacts on inequalities across generations and the life course. She is also interested in engaging with a wide range of stakeholders to make complex quantitative data analysis accessible and user friendly.

It promises to be a great start to our seminar series so make sure to sign up today!
