Dr. Andrew Papachristos of Northwestern University will provide substantive and statistical expertise for the proposed R01 led by Alexander Tsai of the Massachusetts General Hospital. Beginning in year 1 and continuing through to year 4, he will advise on study design and analysis of both the quantitative data in Aims 1 & 2, and the qualitative data in Aim 3. Dr. Papachristos will assist the contact PI and co-PI in supervising the qualitative study by providing input on the training of the interviewers, reviewing interview transcripts, and providing intellectual feedback on the qualitative analysis. Beginning in year 4 and continuing through to the end of the award period, Dr. Papachristos’ expertise will be used to support the preparation of manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals. He will also be expected to assist with these manuscripts by contributing to the writing and revision of these manuscripts throughout the peer review process.
