We were thrilled to host Dr. Briana Stephenson from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in a past installment of our webinar series!
Dr. Stephenson led a fascinating discussion on how mixture models can help uncover important patterns within underserved populations. She highlighted how traditional research methods often focus on majority subgroups, leaving smaller communities overlooked. In a diverse country like the United States, this "one-size-fits-all" approach can lead to policies and decisions that donāt fully reflect the needs of the entire population.
During the webinar, Dr. Stephenson shared innovative ways to adapt mixture models to better capture the behaviors and experiences of underrepresented groups.
