　　报告简介：Longitudinal ordinal responses are often seen in behavioral sciences, public health and medical studies. In Alliance for a Healthy Border program (2006-2008), a chronic disease prevention program through twelve federally qualified community health centers serving primarily Hispanics in communities along the U.S.-Mexico border, survey and health measurements were obtained at three time points via a pre-post study design. Successes of the program were evaluated with dichotomous or trichotomous ordinal outcomes of weight reduction, glycemic control, and physical activity improvement. The ordinal response modeling methods include generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach for cumulative logit models and transitional ordinal modeling with multiple predictors. Some statistics/biostatistics career opportunities in the United States will be introduced at the end.
