  • What epidemiology is, and why it's important? Risk Bites provides a simple introduction to what epidemiology is, and how to make sense of epidemiology studies when people's health is on the line. With Mariya Voytyuk.
    Written, illustrated, narrated and filmed by Dr. Mariya Voytyuk
    RISK BITES
    Risk Bites videos are devised, created and produced by Andrew Maynard, in association with the Arizona State University School for the Future of Innovation in Society (sfis.asu.edu). They focus on issues ranging from risk assessment and evidence-based decision making, to the challenges associated with emerging technologies and opportunities presented by public interest technology.

    This was a very helpful video! I’m familiar with research indications in psychology and neuroscience, but I think learning about the point of epidemiology is extremely useful for how the research we do is important from a bigger picture, too, as scientists in my field can get lost in the small details.

    People keep telling me to give up red meat because it is associated with cancer, so I am going to share this video with them next time! I love the way that it was reframed. It gives a better understanding on why it may be true, but not necessarily urgent.

      It’s still significant at that level and smaller, though. I can see what you’re saying when p = .05, but that’s definitely the cut off. It may not be strongly significant, but it’s still significant. For some reason other scientists even consider “marginally significant” results as trends, which I can understand if you think you’re getting close and want to push for future direction, but don’t call it marginally significant!

    Minute 5:30; a 20 times increase is an increase of 1900%, isn't it!?

    • @gigglysamentz2021
      @gigglysamentz2021 Před 7 lety +1

      No I think they're right. "Being 20 times as likely to get cancer" would be a 1900% increase.

    • @riskbites
      @riskbites  Před 7 lety +1

      Yep - technically the increase is 1900% - good catch. Yet using the term "increase" in a looser way to represent a comparison between before and after (which gives you 2000%) tends to be easier to comprehend in a context like this, despite not being technically accurate. A tradeoff between pedantic accuracy and understandability :)

    My admittedly rough research suggests that 14% of the US population smoke whereas 64% drink coffee. So where does the people who drink coffee tend to smoke conclusion come from?

    • @katherineli5440
      @katherineli5440 Před 3 lety

      i havnt done any research myself but it does not have to be a 1:1 correlation (100% of coffee drinkers do not need to be smokers). If people who do not drink coffee make up a smaller percentage of smokers than people who do drink coffee, then the correlation is valid. It's just that making causational conclusions from that information would be interesting lol.

      ​@@tacticalone8764 I agree, some things should be tested on animals. The only problem is much of the animal testing that's being done is unnecessary, or not even providing good science that we can rely upon (because of the differences between humans and the animals)

  • @nathanvermaerke2168
    @nathanvermaerke2168 Před 5 měsíci +1

    Brief summary:
    How to test whether something is harmful?
    - In vivo studies: research in animals
    • Not the same effects in humans!
    - In vitro studies: research in cells
    • Cell out of the body behave differently!
    - Studies on humans = best approach
    • Warning: can be unethical! Therefore, we can:
    o Observe world, where are people exposed to? = observational studies: exposure  health.
    o But exposure  health, doesn’t mean the 2 events are related. (ice-cream consumption and drownings, these are correlated, but not causative)
    • Reason we might see an association:
    o Cause
    o Chance
    o Bias: can occur because of errors (in design).
    o Confounder: some other factor(s) confuses our interpretation. E.g., People who drink a lot of coffee are more likely to develop heart disease, tempting to conclude that coffee causes heart disease, but people that drink coffee tend to smoke. In this case smoking is a confounder (associated with both coffee and heart disease), which make can make it seen coffee causes the condition.
    • What information matters?
    o Use statistics, the p-value (≤ 0.05), but doesn’t tell much about importance, rather tells if it is true or not. E.g., both smoking and red meat causes increase in cancer risk, but smoking causes a 20-time increase and red meat only a 0.2-time increase.
    o This is why looking at the p-value is not enough and also considering effect size is needed to know the importance.
