Join the National Institutes on Drug Abuse in a virtual webinar to explore how we can harness the power of geospatial data science to advance our understanding of the epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of drug use and addiction!
Dr. Kolak, PI of the HEROP Lab, will be one of six researchers presenting & discussing opportunities to apply geospatial data science in their work.
The goal of this virtual workshop is to bring together research communities in the forefront of leveraging geospatial data in drug use and addiction research and inspire new directions in methodology and advancing practice. Topics to include:
- How are researchers currently applying geospatial data science in drug use and addiction research?
- What advancements (methodologically, computationally) will be helpful to apply geospatial data science?
- How are the results from the geospatial data science work being adopted or translated into real-world settings?
- What are some challenges and barriers with applying geospatial data science? Are there any unique challenges with drug use and addiction research?
The workshop will be comprised of three moderated sessions with two invited speakers in the following research areas: 1. Epidemiology, 2. Treatment and Services, and 3. Prevention.
