About the Symposium:
Quantitative analyses on health related issues are carried out by researchers in various fields, different statistical techniques are used, but in Singapore there has not been much interaction among these groups despite the emergence of a number of health research outfits. The proposed inaugural meeting on quantitative health research aims to bring together some foreign and local experts to a Singapore audience and provide a flavor of different quantitative methods used in their health research fields. The objective is not only to learn from each other on quantitative methods but also to disseminate new research findings and generate more interest in health research in Singapore.
