Dr. Delucchi is a Professor of Biostatistics in Psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry with a secondary appointment in the Divisiion of Biostatistics in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, witin the School of Medicine at UCSF.  He is the Director of the Quantitative Core of the NIDA-funded Treatment Research Center and the Principle Investigator on a component in the Center studying the application of growth mixture models.  Dr. Delucchi is also the Principle Investigator of a NIAAA funded study following dependent and problem alcohol drinkers over 13 years.  His primary research focus is on the application of appropriate statistical methodology to the analysis of data types commonly found in psychiatric research, primarily clinical trials in drug abuse research. Such data is characterized by relatively small samples measured at multiple times using many measures. Substantial attrition rates, dual-diagnosis of condition, reliance on self-reports, and multiple drug use are all common problems in such data. In addition to his research he is an active collaborator, consultant, and co-author with numerous investigators, post-doctoral fellows, orther trainees, and faculty.
