COLLABORATIVE STUDIES AMONG AT-RISK POPULATIONS

该项目的主要目的是与国家 研究人员和NIDA在验证性多变量分析中 约30个重要数据集用于测试药物滥用理论 使用创新的现代统计方法。此操作由以下人员完成 查找在以下地点收集的重要现有药物滥用数据集 没有得到充分分析的功能失调的高危人群， 尤其是使用较新的理论测试方法；执行 使用可信的模型和方法对这些数据进行有意义的分析 理论框架；并根据这些分析，准备 研究周密、文笔严谨的科学出版报告 与生成数据的原始研究人员合作。 此外，还提供了技术、统计和方法援助 提供给药物滥用研究人员、NIDA和其他政府机构 经纪公司。

The major purpose of this project is to collaborate with national investigators and NIDA in the confirmatory multivariate analysis of approximately 30 important data sets to test drug abuse theories using innovative modern statistical methods. This is done by locating significant existing drug abuse data sets collected among dysfunctional, at-risk populations that have not been fully analyzed, particularly with newer theory-testing methods; performing meaningful analyses of these data using plausible models and theoretical frameworks; and, based on these analyses, preparing well-researched and well-written reports for scientific publication in collaboration with the original researchers who generated the data. In addition, technical, statistical, and methodological assistance is provided to drug abuse researchers, NIDA, and other governmental agencies.
