  Research Interest

  Chronic disease epidemiology, particularly cancer, cardiovascular disease, adverse effects of smoking, alcohol and pharmaceuticals, evaluation of screening tests. Most of my career has been in the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research where I was Director for 7 years and am still active. I especially enjoy mentoring students and trainees at Stanford.

  Goodman, Steven Neil
  Academic Appointments Professor,  Medicine - General Medical Disciplines
  Professor,  Health Research & Policy - Epidemiology
  
  Research Interest

  I am interested in issues relating to the representation and measurement of evidence in medical research, and determinants of the truth of medical findings, using a Bayesian framework. I also do work in evidence synthesis, comparative effectiveness research, and the ethics of clinical research. Finally, I have an ongoing project related to landmark clinical trials that have had great impact.

  Research Interest

  Cancers of the prostate, breast and ovary account for a major proportion of new cancer cases and cancer deaths in the U.S. each year. Our recent research focus has been on developing improved statistical methods for the design and conduct of studies involving hereditary predisposition and modifiable lifestyle characteristics in the etiologies of site-specific cancers.
