Primary Research and Clinical Interests

Dr. Feingold came to OSLC after having worked for nearly a decade as a biostatistician in the Division of Substance Abuse at the Department of Psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine. His main current interest at OSLC is in developing and validating new methods of effect sizes (and confidence intervals for these new effect sizes) to convey the practical significance of findings from latent growth, multilevel, and mixture modeling of continuous and categorical outcomes in the alcohol field. Developing and validating effect sizes for the indirect effects from mediation analysis with different kinds of variable distributions is a key aim of his NIAAA-funded work.
