Statistical Core
RESTORE's statistical core is headed by Dr. Kathryn Foti and co-led by Dr. George Howard at the University of Alabama (UAB). To ensure comparability across all projects, the statistical core employs standardized tools and approaches for data collection, utilizes common databases for data capture, and applies standardized statistical, health economic, and cost analysis methods. By implementing these measures, we aim to facilitate meaningful comparisons of results obtained from the data analyses conducted in each project.
