Abstract:
Public health surveillance is a critical part of understanding, and ultimately influencing, health behaviors. Traditional methods, such as questionnaires and focus groups have significant limitations including cost, delay, and size. Online social media data has the potential to overcome many of the challenges of traditional methods, but its exploitation is not trivial. We develop and apply computational techniques to enable public health surveillance in novel ways and on a larger scale than currently performed.In this regard, we present techniques for mining the who, what, and where of public

Abstract:
With widespread use of the Internet, data is often shared between organizations in B2B health care networks. Integrating data across all sources in a health care network would be useful to public health surveillance and provide a complete view of how the overall network is performing. Because of the lack of standardization for a common data model across organizations, matching identities between different locations in order to link and aggregate records is difficult. Moreover, privacy legislation controls the use of personal information, and health care data is very sensitive in nature so the

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on assessing and improving statistical methods implemented in two areas of public health research. The first topic involves estimation of national influenza-associated mortality rates via mathematical modeling. The second topic involves the timely detection of infectious disease outbreaks using statistical process control monitoring. For over fifty years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been estimating annual rates of U.S. deaths attributable to influenza. These estimates have been used to determine costs and benefits associated with influenza prevention

Monitoring viruses circulating in the human population and the environment is critical for protecting public and ecosystem health. The goal of this dissertation was to incorporate a viral metagenomic approach into virus surveillance efforts (both clinical and water quality control programs) to enhance traditional virus detection methods. Clinical surveillance programs are designed to identify and monitor etiological agents that cause disease. However, the ability to identify viruses may be compromised when novel or unsuspected viruses are causing infection since traditional virus detection met

Abstract:
Since type B adverse drug reactions tend to be rare and serious, they tend to be treated by tertiary-care specialists; and since they are commonly iatrogenic, the specialists should be concerned to document carefully not only the case per se but also the drug use history, leading to practice data of good research quality. The specialist should also be concerned to submit the data record to a central facility that would supply the probabilities, evidence-based, that a recent drug use by a patient caused the adverse event.

Abstract:
The health care burden associated with childhood injury is huge. Surveillance--the collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data--is seen as an important step towards understanding and controlling the injury problem. The usefulness of surveillance data, however, depends on their quality. Quality may be defined as the collection of reliable and valid data along with an unbiased capture of events. (An important issue in paediatric injury surveillance is that proxy respondents are often used to provide data on behalf of the child.) Previous evaluations of paediatric injury surve

BACKGROUND Keeping pace with the rapidly evolving demands of infectious disease monitoring requires constant advances in surveillance methodology and infrastructure. A promising new method is syndromic surveillance, where health department staff, assisted by automated data acquisition and statistical alerts, monitor health indicators in near real-time. Several syndromic surveillance systems use diagnoses in administrative databases. However, physician claim diagnoses are not audited, and the effect of diagnostic coding variation on surveillance case definitions is not known. Furthermore, syndr
