Educational Resources

ECHO has gathered useful resources from other professional organizations to help empower its researchers. Please see below to take advantage of these great resources.

 

ECHO Funded Resources

ECHO Data Analysis Center (DAC) and Johns Hopkins University

Video on Accelerometers for Research

Experts in wearable technology from the ECHO Data Analysis Center (DAC) and Johns Hopkins University discuss the use of accelerometers in pediatric health research. This is the first in a series of educational videos on what research questions may be addressed with wearables, best practices for designing studies and collecting data with wearables, and how to analyze these data. Future videos will include experts from across the ECHO Program.

ECHO Data Analysis Center (DAC) faculty at Johns Hopkins University are leading the development of novel, scientifically rigorous methods for complex consortium studies such as ECHO. We are currently developing methods related to missing data, combining independent cohort studies in analyses, and creating time-varying, novel national “neighborhood”-level measures and datasets.
