Chan School of Public Health and a senior researcher at the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH)\, Japan\, the research arm of the Ministry of Health\, Labour and Welfare (MHLW). Her work focuses on rehabilitation within public and global health\, while also encompassing health policy and health systems research\, including health and long-term care insurance and community-based integrated care in Japan and across Asia. She has also conducted research in social epidemiology\, with a focus on aging populations. She is particularly passionate about advancing health equity by addressing both individual-level determinants and broader social and health system contexts. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Kaori Yamaguchi						\n					\n				Takemi Fellow\n			\n			\n												\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepartment of Global Health and Population\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School.					\n					In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted executive and continuing education\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Executive and Continuing Education

SUMMARY:CHDS Seminar with Christopher Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Home / 404\n\n\n\n\n\n\n21st Freeman-Seage Symposium on Infectious Disease Epidemiology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n	Conferences and Symposia\, From Around the School\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		Register Today	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Center for Health Decision Science for a seminar with Christopher Jackson from the University of Cambridge\, UK\, titled\, “Making Semi-Markov Multistate Models for Intermittent Observations Easily Usable.” Multi-state models for changes in a state (e.g. of health or illness) often assume that the transition rate is constant with time spent in the state (the “Markov” assumption). In this seminar\, Jackson proposes a new method and software package to relax this often-unrealistic assumption\, using hidden states known as “phases.” This is motivated by applications such as modelling the duration of infections\, modelling time in a detectable state in cancer screening\, and modelling cognitive impairment in studies of ageing. \n\n\n\nChristopher Jackson is a Senior Statistician at the MRC Biostatistics Unit\, University of Cambridge. His research involves incorporating statistical methods in models to combine evidence to inform population health policy. His publications cover Bayesian evidence synthesis\, survival analysis\, multi-state modelling\, longitudinal data\, decision theory\, and model comparison. He has also developed several popular R packages\, and co-authored two textbooks\, “The BUGS Book” and “Value of Information for Healthcare Decision-Making.” \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n							Christopher Jackson					\n				Senior Statistician at the MRC Biostatistics Unit\, University of Cambridge\n			\n			\n					\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCenter for Health Decision Science\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School.					\n					In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted executive and continuing education\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Executive and Continuing Education
