    Presented on 4/10/12. Self-management of risk behaviors is a cornerstone of future population health. Using mobile phones for routine self-monitoring is a cost-efficient strategy for self-management. Despite benefits, new challenges are also introduced. Costs, logistics, and appropriateness of mobile phones for the intended population need to be considered. Daily reports that are common to mobile data collection versus retrospective self-reports that are common to traditional studies offer new opportunities to provide participant feedback and model behavior patterns. At the same time, new challenges are introduced in data management, presentation, user uptake, and analysis. In the first presentation, we will cover mobile phone-based study design scenarios and issues. The second presentation will cover analytic strategies to examine participant preferences using conjoint analysis around this new technology and time-series analyses to model daily reports.

    Multiple Imputation for Missing Data in KLoSA 3/13/2012.

    Abstract: Survey data often include missing values due to nonresponse. Especially, sensitive questions such as questions about income or assets tend to show higher percentage of missing values. When missing values occur, complete-case analysis may lead to biased estimates of parameters. Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging(KLoSA) is a longitudinal study to evaluate aging trends in the Korean population and apply the results to the social welfare and labor policy. KLoSA collected baseline data in 2006 and first follow-up data in 2008. We conducted multiple imputation based on hotdeck to handle missing values in KLoSA baseline and first follow-up data. In this study, we explain the imputation strategy adopted for filling in missing values of major outcome variables in KLoSA.
