Dr. Reboussin joined the faculty in 1995 after completing a NIMH Psyciatric Epidemiology
Training
fellowship. The common theme of her research has been the development of methods to study
associations
among behaviors that are indicators (or surrogates) of underlying and otherwise unmeasurable
conditions or
processes.
Most recently, Dr. Reboussin has been actively involved in developing methods that will lead to
new
understandings of transitions from the earliest stages of drug involvement onward to dependence,
placing
these transitions into context with other antecedent or co-occuring life circumstances, social
contexts, and
biobehavioral vulnerability traits.
