Simulations to Evaluate HIV Vaccine Trial Designs
population level by altering the infectiousness of vaccinated individuals who become infected. A vaccine trial design that does not estimate both susceptibility and infectiousness might reject a proposed vaccine that is capable of halting the HIV epidemic. We describe a vaccine trial design called the Retrospective Partner Trial (RPT), which can quantify vaccine effects on both susceptibility a...
متن کاملSingle-Case Experimental Designs to Evaluate Novel Technology-Based Health Interventions
Technology-based interventions to promote health are expanding rapidly. Assessing the preliminary efficacy of these interventions can be achieved by employing single-case experiments (sometimes referred to as n-of-1 studies). Although single-case experiments are often misunderstood, they offer excellent solutions to address the challenges associated with testing new technology-based interventio...
متن کاملThe use of single-case experimental designs to evaluate nursing interventions for individual clients.
Nurses are increasingly called upon to devise interventions for individual clients. These interventions must be effective for the purpose for which they are designed if they are to be considered appropriate for the client for whom they were devised. Single-case research methodology offers the practising nurse an easy to use strategy for assessing the efficacy of individualised interventions, wi...
متن کاملRestricted Maximum Likelihood Method to estimate components of genetic variation – an example in quantitative methods
Background Helminths constitute one of the most important constraints to livestock production in the tropics. Widespread infection with internal parasites in grazing animals, associated production losses, costs of anthelmintics and death of infected animals are some of the major concerns. Current control methods focus on reducing contamination of pastures through anthelmintic treatment and/or c...
