My Vanderbilt MSTP retreat virtual chalk talk described better confidence interval interpretation with p-value functions ( rpubs.com/danny_sack/pva…) Find a comprehensive overview here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100… #RStats #doubledocs

New The COVID Tracking Project Racial Data Dashboard data today. In case you're wondering, there are lots of cases/deaths with unknown races/ethnicities in #Texas, which is why it does look like all the other states rpubs.com/danny_sack/cov…

Thanks to excellent feedback from Lauren Saag Peetluk, I've reworked the COVID #HealthEquity data with R Shiny. We can now compare health inequity across states/regions of interest (e.g. TN, GA, AR, AL, and the South) #EpiTwitter #rstats dannysack.shinyapps.io/covid_inequiti…

I've updated both #COVID sites with new health inequities data from The COVID Tracking Project. I removed the "Non-White" category because of differential reporting across states making comparisons difficult rpubs.com/danny_sack/cov… dannysack.shinyapps.io/covid_inequiti…

#COVID19 deaths are more prevalent than expected (based on population) in Black people in 37 states, in Latinx people in 13 states, and in White people in 7 states as of yesterday (states grouped by Census Bureau Division) dannysack.shinyapps.io/covid_inequiti… rpubs.com/danny_sack/cov…

#Tennessee still has higher #COVID19 infections and deaths in Black and Latinx individuals than neighboring states and the south as a whole rpubs.com/danny_sack/cov… dannysack.shinyapps.io/covid_inequiti…

There are just so many things wrong this this I don't know where to start...

States with the most new #COVID cases (per The COVID Tracking Project), are doing a poor job characterizing race/ethnicity for infections/deaths. Could be due to poor infrastructure, newly overwhelmed resources, etc. but is not good and obscuring health inequities rpubs.com/danny_sack/cov…

#COVID19 infections are more prevalent than expected based on population in Black people in 32 states, in Latinx people in 38 states, and in White people in 0 states as of yesterday per the The COVID Tracking Project Racial Data Tracker rpubs.com/danny_sack/cov…

#COVID19 infections and death continue to disproportionately impact Black and Latinx communities across the country

We are still seeing stark differences in #COVID19 infections and deaths by race/ethnicity and inadequate reporting of race/ethnicity data, which further magnifies chronic underfunding and #SystemicRacism in our public health system rpubs.com/danny_sack/cov…

Top tip: if you got your Kroger card in another state you'll need to change your home store to one in Tennessee otherwise you won't be able to find Shade Tree Clinic, which is highly stress inducing Vanderbilt MSTP Vanderbilt School of Medicine @vuglobalhealth @Ayeshamyar Kevin Byram, MD Kelsey McNew MD, PhD

It was wonderful with the MRC/Wits-Agincourt Unit team on this project, part of my virtual @VECDFellows year. Increased pregnancy-related healthcare utilization in rural northeastern South Africa from 1993-2018 was differential by nationality and residency status gh.bmj.com/content/6/10/e…

So excited to share this with #epitwitter (now with a working link!)
