This study introduces Bayesian methods for estimating disease prevalence using longitudinal two-phase designs. The research provides a framework for analyzing changes in diagnostic probability over time in adolescent substance use.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Longitudinal Data Analysis
  • Bayesian Inference

Background:

  • Longitudinal two-phase designs are crucial for accurate prevalence estimation, combining initial screening with follow-up diagnostic testing.
  • Estimating prevalence over time requires sophisticated statistical models to account for changing probabilities and individual variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and compare Bayesian models for prevalence estimation in longitudinal two-phase studies.
  • To analyze the temporal dynamics of diagnostic probability using mixed-effects probit models.
  • To illustrate the methodology with adolescent alcohol and drug use data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a longitudinal two-phase design with initial screening and repeated diagnostic tests.
  • Employed four mixed-effects probit models incorporating latent variables for subject-specific effects.

  • Performed computations using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods.
  • Compared models using the deviance information criterion (DIC).

    • Main Results:

    • The study successfully applied Bayesian inference and model selection techniques to a complex longitudinal dataset.
    • Mixed-effects probit models effectively captured changes in diagnostic probability over time.
    • The deviance information criterion facilitated robust model comparison for prevalence estimation.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed Bayesian framework offers a powerful approach for prevalence estimation in longitudinal studies.
    • The methodology is well-suited for analyzing dynamic health behaviors, such as adolescent substance use.
    • This research contributes to improved statistical methods for public health surveillance and intervention studies.
