CENTER FOR CLINICAL AND MEDICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY

成瘾研究所(RIA)与 医学院社会与预防医学系 在纽约州立大学布法罗分校提议成立一个临床和医疗中心 酒精流行病学。本中心致力于以临床为中心 和酒精的医学流行病学。该中心寻求整合 酒精研究和流行病学方法，以提供答案 关于酒精中毒的自然历史和 酒精消费的生物医学后果。中心将是 由RIA主任霍华德·布莱恩博士和一个全国性的- 已知的酒精流行病学家Marcia Russell博士，扩展了现有的 管理结构和开发新的管理结构 并监控中心的活动。行政核心活动包括 客座科学家计划，中心的外部充实计划 科学家，开发和传播EPI笔记，范围广泛 教育、培训和职业发展活动。研究 计划包括为中心研究服务的两个科学核心组成部分 构成部分和其他相关的R0-1项目：(1)生物统计和 测量核心，用于管理和协调数据分析策略和 确保使用所有人共有的措施和数据管理功能 研究组成部分，从而促进研究之间的比较 部件和其他相关的R0-1项目，以及(2)生物标本 长期储存和取回血液样本的液氮库。 科学核心组件将经济高效地支持 并整合了三个研究组成部分和一个试点项目：(1) 已治疗和未治疗酒精中毒的流行病学，(2) 酒精与冠心病，以及(3)酒精和 肺癌。该试点项目寻求开发一个地理信息 系统作为科学核心的前奏，将提供一个生态 为流行病学调查奠定了基础。在第四年的年底 中心运营，中心将举办全国酒类会议 流行病学。

The Research Institute in Addictions (RIA), in collaboration with the Department of Social and Preventive Medicine of the School of Medicine at SUNY-Buffalo proposes a Center for the Clinical and Medical Epidemiology of Alcohol. This center seeks to Center for the Clinical and Medical Epidemiology of Alcohol. This Center seeks to integrate alcohol research and epidemiologic method in order to provide answers to important questions regarding the natural history of alcoholism and the biomedical consequences of alcohol consumption. The center will be administered by the Director of RIA, Dr. Howard Blane, and a nationally- known alcohol epidemiologist, Dr. Marcia Russell, extending existing administrative structures and developing new ones as indicated to manage and monitor Center activities. Administrative core activities include a visiting scientist program, an external enrichment program for Center scientists, development and dissemination of EPI Notes, and a wide range of education, training, and career development activities. Research plans include two scientific core components serving Center research components and other related R0-1 projects: (1) a biostatistical and measurement core to manage and coordinate data analytic strategies and to ensure the use of measures and data management functions common to all research components, thereby facilitating comparisons across research components and other related R0-1 projects, and (2) a biological specimen liquid nitrogen bank for longterm storage and retrieval of blood samples. The scientific core components will economically and efficiently support and integrate three research components and one pilot project: (1) epidemiology of treated and untreated alcoholism, (2) epidemiology of alcohol and coronary heart disease, an d(3) epidemiology of alcohol and lung cancer. The pilot project seeks to develop a geographic information systems as a prelude to a scientific core that will provide an ecological substrate to epidemiological inquiry. At the end of the fourth year of Center operation, the Center will host a national conference of alcohol epidemiology.
