Justice Center hosts Group-Based Models Workshop

Dr. Daniel S. Nagin, Professor of Public Policy and Statistics at Carnegie Mellon Heinz College, will present a 3-day workshop on group-based models for analyzing developmental trajectories on July 6, 7, and 8. This invitation-only intensive program for social behavioral science researchers is hosted by the Justice Center and will train participants to use group-based models in a variety of health and social welfare disciplines. These models can describe, summarize, and analyze individual and environmental changes over time. Dr. Nagin is an internationally known expert in this field and has published extensively on group-based models.
