Students, Faculty and Staff from all disciplines are welcome.Advanced statistical modeling in pharmacoepidemiology research to access opioid safety during pregnancy - Associate Professor Sheron (Xuerong) Wen (Pharmacy Practice) and Associate Professor Yichi Zhang (Statistics)The team has conducted Bayesian mediation analyses to identify the mediators and estimate the natural direct and indirect effects of prenatal opioid exposure on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.
