Our postcensal estimates were also close to the Census' population estimates at the incorporated place level for years closer to the 2010 decennial census. The approaches presented here can be used to estimate population sizes for any small geographic areas based on census blocks. The advantages and disadvantages of their application in public health practice should be considered.

When designing longitudinal cohort studies, investigators must make decisions about study duration (i.e. length of follow-up) and frequency of outcome measurement. This research explores these design decisions for longitudinal cohort studies constructed using routinely-collected administrative data. To illustrate the effects of varying study duration and frequency of outcome measurement in longitudinal cohort studies conducted using routinely-collected administrative data using a numeric example. Linked administrative data from Manitoba, Canada were used. The cohort included mothers who experienced the death of an infant between April 1, 1999 and March 31, 2012 and a matched (threeone) group of mothers who did not experience an infant death. A generalized linear model was used to test for differences between groups in the non-linear (i.e. quadratic) and linear trend over time for the number of healthcare contacts. Holding sample size constant, models were fit to the data for various combinations of studin studies should be included in reporting guidelines. Longitudinal cohort studies based on admi
