Quantitative Data Collection and Analysis

Quantitative Data Collection and Analysis

Data can be qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative data are helpful to generate a hypothesis and gather information if little is known about an expected association. Focus groups, key informant interviews, and case studies are types of qualitative data collection methods used to identify common themes from which to build a hypothesis. Quantitative data collection and analysis are used to test a hypothesis and make comparisons to determine the direction and strength of a potential association. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is cross-sectional panel survey used to collect quantitative data on adult behaviors and risk factors. It is one of the largest U.S. health data collection efforts. The data can be used to analyze associations on a state or country level.

    Odds Ratio Interpretation

    1.0

    or

    (≈ 1.0)

    		 Means that the odds of exposure among cases is the same the odds of exposure among controls  

    The exposure is

    not associated

    with the disease
    > 1.0 Means that the odds of exposure among cases is greater than the odds of exposure among controls and positively associated with the outcome  

    The exposure may be

    a risk factor

    for the disease.
    < 1.0 Means that the odds of exposure among cases is lower than the odds of exposure among controls and negatively associated with the outcome  

    The exposure may be

    protective

    against the disease.

    Calculating Odds Ratio

    Odds ratio is a measure of association used in epidemiological studies to assess the relationship between disease and exposure. In this exercise, you will calculate and interpret odds ratio using real-world examples.

    Odds Ratio

    In case control studies the odds ratio (OR) is the measure of the association between the frequency of an exposure and the frequency of an outcome. The OR is an indirect measure of risk in case control studies because incidence rates cannot be calculated.

    The formula for odds ratio is: (A/C) ÷ (B/D) or (AD)/(BC).

    Remember, data from an output source may not be ordered according to the table. Ensure that the output data corresponds to the table, or you will calculate incorrectly when you apply the formula.

      Disease Status    
    Exposure Status Yes No Total
    Yes A B A + B
    No C D C + D
    Total A+C B+D A+B+C+D
