Mission of the Methodology Center PDF Print Email

The Methodology Center is an interdisciplinary center that comprises faculty, research associates, post-docs, and students from several academic disciplines, including human development, psychology, statistics, and public health. In collaboration with prevention and treatment scientists, we conduct cutting-edge methodological research focusing on

  • identifying issues in statistics, research design, and measurement emerging in the prevention and treatment of problem behaviors, particularly drug abuse
  • conducting original research on these issues
  • applying the new methods we develop in empirical research, and
  • disseminating new methods to prevention and treatment scientists.

Our work is funded by the National Institutes of Health and by the National Science Foundation.
