- Comparators Working Group November 2024: Member’s Experiences Session
Members are invited to book onto the next Comparators Working Group meeting, taking place on Wednesday 20th November 2024, 10:00 – 11:00 AM
We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting another Comparators Working Group (CWG) webinar on Wednesday 20th November at 10am. This follows the success of the CWG session earlier in the year which heard from 2 members sharing their experience of using Case Control Matching for evaluation. For this upcoming webinar we will welcome back Mike Kerrigan, Head of the Research and Insights Team at the Centre for Student and Community Engagement at Nottingham Trent University, who will talk to us this time about using Propensity Score Matching (PSM).
Mike will give us an insight into the context in which he approached using PSM for comparator groups, what his practical and theoretical considerations were, the challenges he faced, how he tackled them, and what he learned in the process for future evaluations. The session will include a ‘live experiment’ showing how PSM is done in SPSS.
How to register
This event will take place on Wednesday 20th November 2024, 10:00 – 11:00 AM.
Please do submit any questions you have via the registration link, and we will do our best to cover them in the webinar.
Further details will be sent out to registered attendees in due course. If you are unable to attend, the recording will be published after the event.
Please note: We recommend that you log out of the HEAT database before completing your application to prevent potential time-out issues
Who should attend?
This is the fourth webinar in the Comparators Working Group series. It is open to all members, no matter their level of experience with comparator groups, but the focus of the meeting will be hearing from our speaker about their experience using PSM. If you are new to comparator groups, we recommend that you check out the HEAT resources from the first two Comparators Working Groups which explain what comparator groups are and how to get started with them.
Catch up on the Comparators Working Group Resources (member’s only)
We have created an extensive resource pack for our Comparators Working Group, which is available to download from the File Store. This pack covers material on the usefulness of comparator groups, considerations when attempting matching, how they HEAT system can help you with comparators, and a guide to using SPSS for case-control matching.
We look forward to hearing from our speaker and to seeing you there. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the Comparators Working Group, or comparators in general, please do not hesitate to contact Rachael Edgar or Nina Jentl in the first instance.
