As we mentioned in section 1.2, we cannot test if the slope difference is significant at different point in time. Figure 4.4: Figure 14. Circulation 2001;104(18):2158–63. If you don’t correct for autocorrelation, you might underestimate the standard errors, meaning that you are overestimating the statistical significance. Quarterly Pennsylvania adult current smoking prevalence was calculated from the 1998–2010 Pennsylvania BRFSS (4). it is possible that your level of wellbeing depends on how you have been feeling in the past days; the number of hours you study today might depend on how many hours have you studies a week ago; the diffusion of diseases over time depends on whether there has been other cases in the past weeks; and so on. Data used in the study are available in the Wats package in R and utilized by Rodgers, Beasley, and Schuelke to discuss representation of interrupted time series. The chapters in this volume address these issues. Divided into two sections, this book deals with designs that analyze change in multiple subjects, and with change in single subjects and an interacting system. Prev Chronic Dis 2013;10:120268. Note the changes in our equation (2.3): \(\text{Treatment}\) and \(\text{Time Since Treatment}\) are both equal to 0. Then, this book explains smoothing, multiple time-series analysis, and interrupted time-series analysis. At the end of each step, this book coherently provides an analysis of the monthly violent-crime rates as an example. Does a raise in the minimum wage affect local levels of employment? We can clearly see this if we plot a new point at time = 320 and its counterfactual. When conducting an interrupted time series analysis is important to think about possible threats to the validity of the study. Figure 2.5: Time series and its counterfactual, Note that the coefficients obtained from equation (2.1) do not tell us if the difference between each point (the predicted outcomes) and its counterfactual is statistically significant. What are the key coefficients of an interrupted time series? Individuals feel more prone to have children as a response to major life losses or because they feel closer to traditional values (such as having a family) when unexpected events occur. Autocorrelation is a major issue when working with time series. \tag{1.3} The method is used in various areas of research, such as: The ITS design is the base of the comparative time series design, whereby there is a control series and an interrupted series, and the effect of an intervention is confirmed by the control series.[6]. Cigarette smoking is well-documented as the most important cause of chronic bronchitis in the United States and as a risk factor for coronary heart disease (1,2). In this case the slope of the line has not changed, and the lines after and before the intervention are parallel. Participants Each month (over 96 months), a simple Introduction. in level (22.02/100,000 population [P < .001]) and trend (4.72/100,000 population per quarter [P < .001]). The study was based on overall state rates with no specific control group, but the interrupted time-series method compares both trend and level pre-tax and post-tax, controlling for all other unknown factors (15). In our first example, let’s assume we have data on the total consumption of tobacco in a US state from a point in time (t0) to ten years later (t10). However, data are lacking regarding the effectiveness of increasing Pennsylvania’s cigarette tax to reduce smoking and/or adverse health effects of smoking. by calibrating interrupted time series (ITS) regression equations for 27 quality measures. [1][2] Effects of the intervention are evaluated by changes in the level and slope of the time series and statistical significance of the intervention parameters. These conditions were chosen because they are known to be affected by smoking in a short term. Third, medical treatment and other improvements in the prevention and management of AMI and asthma could not be addressed in the analysis. Each month, the birth rate decreased of 0.005. To analyze such massive data, efficient computational and statistical methods are required.Time Series Modeling of Neuroscience Data shows how to What are the possible outcomes of this intervention? In mathematics, a time series is a series of data points indexed (or listed or graphed) in time order. With more than 200 practical recipes, this book helps you perform data analysis with R quickly and efficiently. There is no immediate policy effect but we observe a sustained effect of the policy. Actively smoking or being exposed to secondhand smoke can trigger an asthma attack and worsen asthma symptoms. First, let STATA know you are using time series data generate time=q(1959q1)+_n-1; _n is the observation no. The counterfactual refers to what it would have occured to Y, had the policy intervention not happened. Given the further evidence, we can rule out that an immediate an effect has occured as result of the event. Despite numerous health studies and scientific reports identifying the harmful effects of smoking and the benefit of smoking cessation, 18.4% of Pennsylvania adults smoked in 2010 (4), a prevalence substantially higher than the national Healthy People 2020 objective of 12.0% (5). The dataset contains observations from multiple counties, but for this exercise we are going to consider only the county of Oklahoma city. Finally, time series are also subject to threats to internal validity, such as: This design makes sure that the observed effect is the result of the policy intervention. Time series plots are widely used, across sectors and media, probably because many find them easy to understand. R2 = 0.9567 which means that this ratio explains 95.67% of changes in sales in process of time. Time series can get complicated as there might be late effects (as we saw in our Section 3) that can be misleading. We can use the value of the correlation that we just retrieve to correct our standard errors. \tag{1.4} BQ1 Upload the data TS_Groups_Lab.csv from the class package. However, data are lacking regarding the effectiveness of increasing Pennsylvania’s cigarette tax to reduce smoking and/or adverse health effects of smoking. The decrease, although small, is statistically significant from zero. All included studies reported the use of an ITS design in their titles and/or abstracts and provided clear timing related to the QI implementation . The counterfactual at \(\text{Time}\) = 230 is the level of wellbeing at that point in time if the intervention had not occured. We calculated the Durbin-Watson statistic to test for the serial autocorrelation of the error terms in the regression models. Some times, it can be difficult to detect small correlation patterns using the residual plot as in figure 4.1. We explore various methods for forecasting (i.e. The SCD rate for men was associated with a significant decrease of 1.34/100,000 population in level with the second tax increase but was not associated with any significant change in trend. How do you interpret them? Asthma was defined by the primary discharge diagnosis (ICD-9-CM code 493). Our data are represented in figure 4.3. The function acf is another easy way to plot your residuals and assess autocorrelation. \(\text{P}\) is a continuous variable indicating time passed since the intervention has occured (before intervention has occured P is equal to 0). Figure 1.5 shows both an immediate and a sustained policy effect. we want to understand how and if the outcome has changed after an intervention (e.g., a new policy program) was implemented. has data fo… Found inside – Page 362Applications of structural equation modeling in psychological research.

Reduced hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction after implementation of a smoke-free ordinance — City of Pueblo, Colorado, 2002 — 2006. To get a first sense of the data we can look at this plot that Rodgers and colleagues used to represent birth rate over time in Oklahoma county: Figure 3.1: Oklahoma county, Birth rate over time (Source: Rodgers et al., 2005). Manley MW, Glynn TJ, Shopland D. The impact of cigarette excise taxes on smoking among children and adults: summary report of a National Cancer Institute Expert Panel. Results That is, a 10% increase in cigarette price has been found to reduce overall cigarette consumption by approximately 3% to 5%; approximately two-thirds of this reduction in consumption is attributed to individuals choosing not to smoke at all (6). This may simply reflect the greater burden of SCD in men than women. What was the trend of the birth rate before the event? Washington (DC): US Government Printing Office, 1964. \[\begin{equation} What is the right design to apply an interrupted time series? After the second tax increase, significant decreases were seen in both age-adjusted rate (10.05/100,000 population [P < .001]) and trend (3.21/100,000 population per quarter) (Table 1c, Figure 1c). The line suggests an upward trend, with state residents consuming more tobacco over time. However, AMIs and SCDs are rare in adults aged 18 to 39, and asthma is less common in older adults. \end{equation}\]. Found inside – Page 1From 1976 to the beginning of the millennium—covering the quarter-century life span of this book and its predecessor—something remarkable has happened to market response research: it has become practice. Most commonly, a time series is a sequence taken at successive equally spaced points in time. Another strength of our analytic approach is that we used hospital discharge data that include all cases rather than a sample. The model has a similar structure but (1) we will include a dummy variable that indicates the treatment and the control group and (2) we will interact the group dummy variable with all 3 time serie coefficients to see if there is a statistically significant difference across the 2 groups. \text{Y} = \text{b}_0 + \text{b}_1*201 + \text{b}_2*1 + \text{b}_3*1 + \text{e} \tag{1.7} A review of Pennsylvania’s cigarette price history reported the average per pack price in 2001 was $3.20 with $0.65 per pack overall tax (18). Hurt RD, Weston SA, Ebbert JO, McNallan SM, Croghan IT, Schroeder DR, et al. NURS.605. In other words, despite the increase in per-pack tax, the actual state tax revenues from cigarettes sales decreased (11).

Stoupel E, Domarkiene S, Radishauskas R, Abramson E, Israelevich P, Sulkes J. Introduction Scientific evidence shows that cigarette price increases can significantly reduce smoking prevalence and smoking initiation among adolescents and young adults. Interrupted time series analysis, sometimes known as quasi-experimental time series analysis, is an approach for the analysis of a single time series of data known to be affected by interventions… We can represent some possible outcomes in figures 1.2 - 1.5. The predicted Y for t = 12 falls on the green line in figure 1.12. Reduction in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction associated with a citywide smoking ordinance.

Interrupted Time Series for Health Care, continued 3 structure of this monthly time series and to determine whether the protocol change worked: as indicated by a significant increase in the likelihood of receiving “early statins” when the protocol was changed. A time series is a sequence of observations y1, …, yn. In figure 1.4, the tax does not reduce tobacco consumption immediately, but it shifts the trend downward in the long term. We are going to replicate a study conducted by Rodgers, John, and Coleman (2005) to investigate fertility rates in Oklahoma after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, which killed 168 persons. http://www.phc4.org. \text{Y} = \text{b}_0 + \text{b}_1*18 + \text{b}_2*D*0 + \text{b}_3*P*0 + \text{e} The event has no immediate effect on the birth rate as the Treatment coefficient is not significantly different from zero. The objective of our study was to assess the impact of cigarette tax increases and resulting price increases on smoking prevalence, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and asthma hospitalization rates, and sudden cardiac death (SCD) rates in Pennsylvania. 2) In the post period it drops to .096077 - .10569 = -.00961. But in the long term, it is likely that students will get used to the wellbeing program and their wellbeing goes back to its initial values. Accessed April 2, 2013. \end{equation}\]. There are also factors that are outside the policy makers’ control and might affect the sustained effect of the intervention. In figure 1.2, the tax has no effect on tobacco consumption, which continues to increase at the same trend as before. However, significant changes were seen in both the smoking prevalence level and trend for adults aged 18 to 39. In particular: We can look at our observed and predicted birth rate on a plot: Figure 3.2: Observed and predicted birth rates in Oklahoma county. The LR test statistic is simply negative two times the difference in the fitted log-likelihoods of the two models. \tag{4.1} We will apply these concepts in the following working example. As alternative, we can test autocorrelation of residuals using the Durbin-Watson test in the package lmtest. These changes were much more pronounced in younger age groups, especially in those under 18 years of age. \end{equation}\], \[\begin{equation} (5 points) BQ2 Interpret only the new coefficients in the model. This method controls for baseline level and trend when estimating expected changes resulting from increases in Pennsylvania’s cigarette excise tax. Numerous economic studies have documented that cigarette price increases, most often through cigarette excise taxes, are significantly associated with reductions in smoking prevalence and smoking initiation (2,6,7). Khuder SA, Milz S, Jordan T, Price J, Silvestri K, Butler P. The impact of a smoking ban on hospital admissions for coronary heart disease. Found insideThis book, by the author of the very successful Intuitive Biostatistics, addresses this relatively focused need of an extraordinarily broad range of scientists. It is likely that the locations vary on a number of other factors – both observable and unobservable – that impact fuel sales. To our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the effectiveness of the Pennsylvania excise tax increases on reducing adult smoking prevalence or on adverse health effects. This statistics-related article is a stub. \end{equation}\]. Thinking about when the effect is likely to occur is important in time series. Likewise, the first tax increase in July 2002 was not associated with a significant change in either the trend or the level for smoking prevalence in all age groups. Atlanta (GA): US Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1998–2010. Building on Single Series Method • Treatment and control time series are appended • Regression equation is expanded: y = α+ β 1 T+ β 2 X + β 3 XT+ β 4 Z + β 5 ZT + β 6 ZX + β 7 ZXT + ε where Z = treatment or control, ZT= time for treatment and 0 for control, ZX= study phase for treatment and 0 for control, ZXT= time after interruption for treatment and 0 for There is no statistical test to look at whether there is a statistically significant difference between a predicted outcome and its counterfactual. MS, University of Pittsburgh, 2010 . Accessed April 2, 2013. Neither tax increase was associated with significant trend changes for AMI hospitalization rates for all adults, men or women. Time Series Analysis fills an important need for a textbook that integrates economic theory, econometrics, and new results. The book is intended to provide students and researchers with a self-contained survey of time series analysis. Under these circumstances, Interrupted Time Series (ITS) design comes in handy (see Netflix). No significant changes in the age-specific asthma hospitalization rate levels were seen for any age group — under 18, aged 18 to 39, or aged 40 or older — but the trends all increased after the first excise tax increase. \(\text{b}_3\) is the difference between the slope of the line before and the slope of the line after the intervention. \tag{2.3} This study was supported by funding from CDC (grant no. Publisher Description Age-adjusted AMI and asthma rates analyses, which started with 1 in the first quarter of 2000, increased by 1 for every quarter thereafter. SCD was defined as deaths occurring out of the hospital, or in emergency departments, or as “dead on arrival,” with an underlying cause of death reported as a cardiac disease (ICD-10 codes I21-I25) (13,14). Interrupted time series. Interrupted time series analysis, sometimes known as quasi-experimental time series analysis, is an approach for the analysis of a single time series of data known or conjectured to be affected by interventions (controlled external influences). Interrupted time series design is the design of experiments based on... Figure 1a. zma@pa.gov. \tag{1.1} Additional research and policy development is needed to assess the effectiveness of further cigarette taxes in decreasing 1) tobacco consumption (smoking prevalence and amount of cigarettes smoked) while being cognizant of psychological tipping points for price; and 2) smoking-related health outcomes and health care costs. But this is because individuals drop out from the labour market or stop working as they need to attend the training. DOI: Source: 1998–2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey data. The Pennsylvania cigarette excise tax increases were found to be effective in decreasing smoking prevalence only among adults aged 18 to 39 after the second tax, which increased the price to more than $4.00/pack. An interrupted time series design is a powerful quasi-experimental approach for evaluating effects of interventions introduced at a specific point in time. \(\text{Treatment}\) is always equal to 1 since it is a dummy variable indicating pre or post intervention. The National Cancer Institute Expert Panel’s report provides relevant information regarding the influence of both smoking prevalence and number of cigarettes smoked on cigarette consumption (6). There are several limitations of this analysis. Sudden cardiac death in the United States, 1989 to 1998. In figure 1.9, the slope has changed after the intervention.

[A tabular version of this figure is also The second tax increase in January 2004 was also not associated with any significant changes in smoking prevalence trend or level for all adults or for adults aged 40 or older. The time series refers to the data over the period, while the interruption is the intervention, which is a controlled external influence or set of influences. Wellbeing is measured by a index from 0 to 300. Health insurance coverage and access to health care and hospitals could also influence our findings but they could not be assessed in this analysis. \end{equation}\]. [3] Interrupted time series design is the design of experiments based on the interrupted time series approach. AMI was defined as a primary discharge diagnosis (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification [ICD-9-CM] code 410). 2 1. One should also be cognizant that tobacco companies may adjust prices to absorb part of the tax increase so it is not passed to the consumer (19). We can retrieve from the acf function the level of correlation. The time series regression equation for this analysis is, ŷt =β0 + β1 × Time + β2i × Tax_increasei + β3i × Time_post_tax_increasei + et. CDC-RFA-DP09-9010301PPHF11) and the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (grant no. Depending on the point in time we consider the graph, the intervention had a negative effect or a positive one. They only tell you if. \end{equation}\], Figure 1.12: Time series counterfactual, T=12. In the training example, we would observe an immediate, positive effect if we look at t = 18. \text{Y} = \text{b}_0 + \text{b}_1*230 + \text{b}_2*0 + \text{b}_3*0 + \text{e} In a post-only with control study, the assumption is that the counterfactual outcome in the intervention group would have mirrored that observed in the control group. What is the scope of an interrupted time series? Since 2000, the overall age-adjusted SCD rate decreased significantly for all adults, both men and women. In figure 1.8, \(\text{b}_2\) is the immediate effect that occurs after the intervention. Interrupted Time Series Jos Verbeek. For example, we have imposed some intervention at a specific point in time, and we want to know if that intervention had an effect. We discuss other example in section 4.2. In this section we are going to discuss some additional issues that you might need to consider with interrupted time series. The age-adjusted AMI hospitalization rate had a significant quarterly decreasing trend of 0.56/100,000 population from the initial value from the first quarter of 2000 (73.80/100,000 population). Its counterfactual is calculcated in equation (1.8). Cigarette-related tax revenue and tax history information were obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (11). \text{Y} = \text{b}_0 + \text{b}_1*230 + \text{b}_2*1 + \text{b}_3*30 + \text{e} \text{Y} = \text{b}_0 + \text{b}_1T + \text{b}_2D + \text{b}_3P + \text{e} \end{equation}\], \[\begin{equation} We can also take two (or more) groups where the intervention has occured at different point in time and see whether the effect of the intervention is significant for both of them. This quasi-experimental design is preferred over the simpler pre- and postproportion comparison method (23,27) that does not take the preintervention trend into consideration. To utilize the strength of this design, a modification to standard regression analysis, such as segmented regression, is required. \text{Y} = \text{b}_0 + \text{b}_1T + \text{b}_2*0 + \text{b}_3*0 + \text{e} Found insideThe major classes ofresearch questionsthat can be addressedby time ... Section four provides a detailed examination of interrupted time series analysis. Autocorrelation occurs when observation at one point in time depends from observations at another point in time. The statistical package SAS version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina) was used for all analyses. Found inside – Page viThe notion was that an intervention might not show up in the estimated interrupted time series equation, but be revealed by the naked eye. This apparent paradox, of no significant change in smoking prevalence among the older at-risk adults corresponding to a reduction in AMI hospitalization rates and SCD, may be partially explained by the decrease in cigarette consumption by all adults (11) (rather than decrease in smoking prevalence) and reduced secondhand smoke exposure. Found inside – Page 290A time-series analysis found a statistically significant decrease in armed ... Bloom (1996) proposes a strategy that would use interrupted time series and a ... This has important implications. Figure 1.1: Yearly consumption of tobacco from t0 to t10. After the first excise tax increase, no beneficial effects were noted on the outcomes of interest.

Aa a quasi-experimental method, ITS contains a strong inferential power and has wide applications in epidemiology, medication research, and program evaluations in general. This is a complete revision of a classic, seminal, and authoritative text that has been the model for most books on the topic written since 1970. Institute of Medicine. The second excise tax increase was associated with both a decreased rate level and decreasing trend for age-specific asthma hospitalization rate in the age groups under 18 and 18 to 39, with the most notable decrease for children aged 18 years or younger Quarterly age-adjusted acute myocardial infarction (AMI) hospitalization rates, Pennsylvania, 2000–2009. On July 15, 2002, Pennsylvania raised its cigarette excise tax by $0.69, from $0.31 to $1.00 per pack. At very first glance the model seems to fit the data and makes sense given our expectations and the time series plot. \tag{2.1} Institute of Medicine. The change in the variation of quality over the three accreditation cycles was evaluated using the Levene’s test. The second tax increase was associated with further decreases in the level and reversed the trend of the asthma hospitalization rate. This is shown in figure 4.5. \end{equation}\], Figure 1.13: Time series counterfactual, T=18. \text{Y} = \text{b}_0 + \text{b}_1*12 + \text{b}_2*D*1 + \text{b}_3*P*2 + \text{e} Zheng ZJ, Croft JB, Giles WH, Mensah GA. Theories suggest that birth rates respond to sociocultural situations, including the occurence of major disasters - both natural, such as hurricanes, and man-made, such as 9/11. Let’s imagine a state that introduces a new training program at T = 8 and we want to evaluate the immediate and sustained effect. Healthy People 2020. What are the main threats to validity that you need to pay attention to? Time is the number of quarters, starting from the first quarter of 1998 as 1, and then increasing by 1 for every quarter thereafter for Pennsylvania adult current smoking prevalence analysis. Look at the lines. The conclusions may be flawed in pre–post analyses because there is no accounting for the preintervention overall trend that would have continued without the intervention. Cigarette tax increases can also achieve long-term smoking reductions because they disproportionately affect the smoking prevalence among younger adults (7). For example: When we use OLS, we assume that error terms associated with each observation are not correlated. Our findings provide additional evidence to support the IOM reports (8,16) that it is not the cigarette tax itself but the overall price resulting from the tax increase that may prompt changes in smoking prevalence and trends. Pennsylvania population data were derived from the Population Division of the US Census Bureau (12). [A tabular version of this figure is also One study documented that a 10% increase in cigarette price was associated with reductions of an estimated 3% to 5% in overall short-term cigarette consumption for adults (6).
