RESEARCH: |
Dr. Espeland's primary research interest has been the analysis of data from
clinical trials and epidemiologic cohort studies. This has led him to
examine research questions in diverse fields such as women's health,
aging, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sickle cell disease, cognition,
and obesity. His methodological interests are in developing models from
incomplete data and error-prone data. As applications of this methodology,
he has explored relationships involving ultrasonographic measurements,
diet intake measures, and measures of maturation and growth and has
authored/coauthored more than 170 biomedical journal articles.
Dr. Espeland has been involved in leadership roles of coordinating and
administrative centers for many major multi-center studies including the
Action for Health in Diabetes (Look AHEAD), the Trial of Nonpharmacologic
Interventions in the Elderly (TONE), the Women's Health Initiative Memory
Study (WHIMS), the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium, the Postmenopausal
Estrogen/Progestins Intervention (PEPI) clinical trial, the Asymptomatic Carotid Artery
Progression Study (ACAPS), and the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell
Disease (CSSCD).
Dr. Espeland is a frequent consultant to the National Insitutes of Health
and has served on over two dozen Data and Safety Monitoring Boards /
Advisory Panels for major studies. He has been an elected member on the Board of
Directors for the Society for Clinical Trial. |
