[LCMATE] Invitation to the HOTLINE webinar

[Polychronis Kostoulas]

Dear Colleagues,
This is an invitation to join a webinar presenting the results of the HOTLINE project (www.thehotlineproject.org<http://www.thehotlineproject.org/>). It’s about providing Bayesian tools for the harmonization of disease prevalence estimates that are collected under different sampling and testing settings.
The webinar will be on Feb, 19 from 13:00 (CET) till 14:30 (CET)
Please see below a brief description of the schedule and guidelines on how to join.

Those interested are advised to register ( https://polychroniskostoulas.clickmeeting.com/the-hotline-project ) because there may be limited slots available at the time of the event.

Kind regards,
Polychronis


HOTLINE: Harmonisation Of TransmissibLe disease INterpretation in the EU
Countries typically collect disease data in a way that is best suited for their needs. Therefore, differences exist in the sampling schemes and the diagnostic methods, which produce non-comparable estimates of the prevalence and spectrum of disease.  The HOTLINE project has the objective to make disease information comparable and interpretable across different sampling and testing settings. Like the hotline used to serve for direct communication between the leaders of the superpowers. To serve this objective we are providing a series of Bayesian tools with step by step explanations as well as material for reporting guidelines on surveillance.
