Lost in Translation" - From IPD to AD and from AD to IPD Eun-Young (E.Y.) Mun, Ph.D.Professor, Department of Health Behavior and Health Systems School of Public Health University of North Texas Health Science Center I am interested in the identification of developmental processes through which one's risk for alcohol problems is maintained, intensified, or ameliorated throughout the life span using longitudinal, experimental, and intervention data. In recent years, I have focused on utilizing innovative methodological approaches (e.g., item response theory analysis, multivariate meta-analysis) to alcohol intervention trials to preserve and extend their shelf life and help guide health decisions. My current R01 project involves collaboration with a large team of independent trial developers and evaluators to systematically review and analyze all available data–study-level aggregate data and item-level participant data. This line of investigation is aimed at providing authoritative answers to questions that are best addressed by large-scale data.
