Description

New scientific advances in addiction research pose new problems in research design and data analysis. This symposium will give an overview of emerging research opportunities for the statistical research community in the area of epidemiology, treatment, and genetics research in addiction and substance abuse. The issues of patient retention in clinical trials and the effect of missing data on evaluating outcomes will be discussed by Dr. Baker from a design and analytic perspective. Dr. Anthony will discuss the different types of statistical problems faced by epidemiologists interested in testing conceptual models for the transition from abuse to dependence. Dr. Devlin will describe some of the statistical problems associated with identifying genes for a disorders such as addiction that have a complex mode of inheritance.
