A Bayesian Spatial Berkson error approach to estimate small area opioid mortality rates accounting for population-at-risk uncertainty
Emily N Peterson, Rachel C. Nethery, Jarvis T. Chen +4
Monitoring small-area geographical population trends in opioid mortality has large scale implications to informing preventative resource allocation. A common approach to obtain sma…
Optimizing Heat Alert Issuance with Reinforcement Learning
Ellen M. Considine, Rachel C. Nethery, Gregory A. Wellenius +2
A key strategy in societal adaptation to climate change is using alert systems to prompt preventative action and reduce the adverse health impacts of extreme heat events. This pape…
Severe flooding and cause-specific hospitalization in the United States
Sarika Aggarwal, Jie K. Hu, Jonathan A. Sullivan +2
Flooding is one of the most disruptive and costliest climate-related disasters and presents an escalating threat to population health due to climate change and urbanization pattern…
Causal exposure-response curve estimation with surrogate confounders: a study of air pollution and children's health in Medicaid claims data
Jenny J. Lee, Xiao Wu, Francesca Dominici +1
In this paper, we undertake a case study to estimate a causal exposure-response function (ERF) for long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) and respiratory hospit…
Spatio-temporal quasi-experimental methods for rare disease outcomes: The impact of reformulated gasoline on childhood hematologic cancer
Sofia L. Vega, Rachel C. Nethery
Although some pollutants emitted in vehicle exhaust, such as benzene, are known to cause leukemia in adults with high exposure levels, less is known about the relationship between…
Environmental Justice Implications of Power Plant Emissions Control Policies: Heterogeneous Causal Effect Estimation under Bipartite Network Interference
Kevin L. Chen, Falco J. Bargagli Stoffi, Raphael C. Kim +1
Emissions generators, such as coal-fired power plants, are key contributors to air pollution and thus environmental policies to reduce their emissions have been proposed. Furthermo…
