Abstract
The Methodology and Advanced Analytics Resource Center (MAARC) is methodology resource center that seeks to provide advanced bi-directional data sharing, analytics and modeling capacities that will provide new scientific insights into the intersection of opioid use and the justice context that will ultimately lead to reductions in opioid misuse, overdose and death. MAARC will provide these methodological capabilities to support all clinical trials nation-wide funded under NIDA’s criminal-justice-focused JCOIN initiative. Specifically, these capabilities include advanced methods that provide best-in-class data storage, management and security with added value to these trials through products of forecasting, rapid real time assessments, and explication and exploration of trial effectiveness analysis.
