Summary
Time-to-event analysis is a statistical method for examining the occurrence of disease-related events in individuals followed for varying periods of time. The method is widely used in health research. The technicalities of the methods are subtle and by paying careful attention to these this grant will provide extended methods, new software, and apply methods more effectively to gain new insights to disease progress, and to enhance the efficiency of health research.
Strengthening The Evidence Foundation For Public Health Guidelines

Summary
Public health guidelines should be based on rigorous evidence. If underlying studies are not sound, guidelines will not be credible or implemented. Dietary guidelines have been criticized for being biased. Our group studies bias across the whole research process – from the questions asked to the final publication. This project will measure the influence of bias at all stages in nutrition research in order to improve the evaluation of this research and the evidence base for dietary guidance.
