  • The Women's Health Initiative: History
    DONNA J. BROGAN LECTURE IN BIOSTATISTICS “The Women’s Health Initiative: History, Contributions and Ongoing Research” Presented by: Donna J. Brogan, Ph.D. Emerita Professor Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Rollins School of Public Health Donna J. Brogan received her Ph.D. in statistics from Iowa State University and was Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at UNC School of Public Health before joining Emory in 1971 as the first female faculty member in its Statistics/Biometry Department, later becoming only the fourth female full professor in its School of Medicine. In the Rollins School of Public Health, she was its first female full professor and its first female chair of the Department of Ross L. Prentice, Ph.D. Biostatistics. Dr. Brogan’s research interests, reflected in her 150 publications, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and include design and analysis of complex sample surveys and collaboration with University of Washington health scientists. Dr. Brogan’s honors include fellow of the American Statistical Association The Women’s Health Initiative was launched in 1992 following some years of developmental work. It enrolled 161,808 healthy postmenopausal women at (ASA), Emory University’s Thomas Jefferson Award, three distinguished alumni awards [Gettysburg College (BA), Purdue (MS), Iowa State (Ph.D.)], 40 U.S. clinical centers. A randomized, controlled trial among 68,132 such and the ASA’s Elizabeth Scott Award for significant contributions to the women examined the health effects of postmenopausal hormone therapy, a advancement of women within the statistics discipline. Dr. Brogan’s leadership low-fat dietary pattern, and calcium and vitamin D supplementation, in a partial talent in academic and government realms was applied to selected activism.

A brief overview of the design of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trial and observational study is provided along with a summary of results from the postmenopausal hormone therapy clinical trial components. Since its inception in 1992, the WHI has encountered a number of statistical issues where further methodology developments are needed. These include measurement error modeling and analysis procedures for dietary and physical activity assessment; clinical trial monitoring methods when treatments may affect multiple clinical outcomes, either beneficially or adversely; study design and analysis procedures for high-dimensional genomic and proteomic data; and failure time data analysis procedures when treatment group hazard ratios are time dependent. This final topic seems important in resolving the discrepancy between WHI clinical trial and observational study results on postmenopausal hormone therapy and cardiovascular disease.

Prentice, Chair Ying Qing Chen Susanne May Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Biostatistics University of Washington Abstract Covariate Measurement Error Correction Methods in Mediation Analysis with Failure Time Data Shanshan Zhao Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Ross L. Prentice Department of Biostatistics Mediation analysis is important in understanding the mechanisms of one variable causing changes in another. Measurement error could be obscuring the ability of the potential mediator to explain this mechanism. Existing correction methods in mediation analysis literature are not directly applicable to failure time data. This dissertation focuses on developing correction methods for measurement error in the potential mediator with time-to-event outcome. We consider two specifications of mea- surement errors: one with technical measurement error only, and one with both technical measurement error and temporal variation. The underlying model with the true media- tor values is assumed to be the Cox proportional hazards model. The hazard function induced by the observed mediator value no longer corresponds to a simple partial likelihood independent of the baseline hazard function, due to the conditioning event fTe ≥ tg. We propose a mean-variance regression calibration and a follow-up time calibration approach to approximate the induced partial likelihood. Both methods demonstrate successes in recov- ering treatment effect estimates with both types of measurement error in simulation studies.
