Master of Public Health|concentration in biostatistics

• Analyzed and interpreted statistical data from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance system (BRFSS).
• Performed a thorough literature review on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) followed by the rationale or objective to examine the association between depression status and healthcare access, healthcare utilization, and health-related quality of life among adults with COPD. Collected data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 2011 and 2012. Gathered descriptive statistics as a part of the exploratory data analysis, including the mean or proportion and 95% confidence intervals. In addition, logistic Regression models were produced with corresponding odds ratios using SAS. Results of the study indicated that COPD was significantly associated with the following:
