Abstract

In June 2022, the NIH Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) issued a Call for Papers for a Supplemental Issue to Prevention Science on Design and Analytic Methods to Evaluate Multilevel Interventions to Reduce Health Disparities. ODP sought to bring together current thinking and new ideas about design and analytic methods for studies aimed at reducing health disparities, including strategies for balancing methodological rigor with design feasibility, acceptability, and ethical considerations. ODP was particularly interested in papers on design and analytic methods for parallel group- or cluster-randomized trials (GRTs), stepped-wedge GRTs, group-level regression discontinuity trials, and other methods appropriate for evaluating multilevel interventions. In this issue, we include 12 papers that report new methods, provide examples of strong applications of existing methods, or provide guidance on developing multilevel interventions to reduce health disparities. These papers provide examples showing that rigorous methods are available for the design and analysis of multilevel interventions to reduce health disparities.

评估减少健康差异的多层次干预措施的设计和分析方法：有严格的方法可用。

2022 年 6 月，美国国立卫生研究院疾病预防办公室（NIH Office of Disease Prevention，ODP）向《预防科学》（Prevention Science）杂志发出征稿启事，征集关于设计和分析方法的增刊，以评估减少健康差异的多层次干预措施。ODP 试图汇集有关旨在减少健康差异的研究的设计和分析方法的当前思想和新观点，包括平衡方法的严谨性与设计的可行性、可接受性和伦理考虑因素的策略。ODP 特别关注有关平行分组或群组随机试验 (GRT)、阶梯楔形 GRT、组级回归不连续试验以及其他适合评估多级干预的方法的设计和分析方法的论文。本期我们收录了 12 篇论文，这些论文报告了新方法，提供了现有方法的有力应用实例，或为制定多层次干预措施以减少健康差异提供了指导。这些论文提供的实例表明，有严格的方法可用于设计和分析减少健康差异的多层次干预措施。

期刊介绍： Prevention Science is the official publication of the Society for Prevention Research. The Journal serves as an interdisciplinary forum designed to disseminate new developments in the theory, research and practice of prevention. Prevention sciences encompassing etiology, epidemiology and intervention are represented through peer-reviewed original research articles on a variety of health and social problems, including but not limited to substance abuse, mental health, HIV/AIDS, violence, accidents, teenage pregnancy, suicide, delinquency, STD''s, obesity, diet/nutrition, exercise, and chronic illness. The journal also publishes literature reviews, theoretical articles, meta-analyses, systematic reviews, brief reports, replication studies, and papers concerning new developments in methodology.
