CORE--BIOSTATISTICS/TRAINING AND EDUCATION

生物统计、培训和教育核心提供统计支持、研究设计方面的协助、计算机中心，以及继续教育和培训的各种途径。生物统计学部分有四个目标：为中心支持的研究的设计和分析提供统计数据管理咨询，包括提出可检验的假设，以及估计足够研究的样本量。2)为集中招聘和参训人员数据库提供数据库管理咨询，包括设计表格、录入和验证数据、监控参训人员流动情况。3)举办关于研究设计、统计方法和使用分析软件的培训的研讨会。4)探讨数据分析和管理中的方法和统计问题。培训和教育部分有三个目标：向医学生、家庭工作人员和研究员提供药物滥用方面的教育(L)。2)与以前受过精神病学培训的医生的物质滥用研究研究奖学金方案互动，该方案将提供更多专门从事物质滥用研究和治疗的医生。3)通过每月研讨会、非正式晚间研讨会、研究讨论小组和年度部门务虚会，为部门和部门内的其他教员提供持续教育。

The Biostatistics, Training and Education Core provides statistical support, assistance in research design, a Computer Center, and various avenues for continued education and training. The Biostatistics component has four aims: l) Provide statistical data management consultation on the design and analysis of Center-supported studies, including the formulation of testable hypotheses, and estimation of sample size for adequate power. 2) Provide database management consultation for the centralized recruitment and participant database, including designing forms, entering and verifying data, and monitoring the flow of participants. 3) Offer seminars in research design, statistical methodology, and training in the use of software for analysis. 4) Explore methodological and statistical issues in data analysis and management. The Training and Education component has three aims: l) Provide education in substance abuse for medical students, house staff, and research fellows. 2) Interact with the Research Fellowship Program in Substance Abuse Research for physicians previously fully trained in psychiatry, which will provide more physicians specializing in substance abuse research and treatment. 3) Provide continuing education to other faculty within the Division and Department via monthly seminars, informal evening seminars, a research discussion group and an Annual Departmental Retreat.
