DESCRIPTION:      Abstract:     The Canadian Network for Observational Drug
  Effect Studies (CNODES) is a national network funded by CIHR to conduct a
  series of collaborative\, multi-year studies that will gauge the actual e
 ffects of prescription drugs on those who use them.  CNODES has assembled 
 administrative data from most provinces\, along with the UK CPRD and a US 
 database.  CNODES studies\, usually designed to assess comparative safety 
 of medications\, are conducted using a common protocol distributed to the 
 sites\, followed by a meta-analysis.  The CNODES methods team was establis
 hed to support ongoing CNODES studies\, and to conduct research on statist
 ical and epidemiologic methods in pharmacoepidemiology.  I will briefly re
 view the structure of CNODES\, and then outline several ongoing statistica
 l research projects being conducted by the methods team.     Bio:     Robe
 rt Platt is Professor in the departments of Pediatrics and of Epidemiology
 \, Biostatistics\, and Occupational Health at McGill University.  He recei
 ved a BSc in Mathematics from McGill\, an MSc in Statistics from the Unive
 rsity of Manitoba\, and MS and PhD in Biostatistics from the University of
  Washington\, and joined McGill in 1996.  Dr. Platt was director of the Bi
 ostatistics program from 2006-2012\, and is currently the Associate Direct
 or (Biostatistics and Data Management) of the Centre for Innovative Medici
 ne at the McGill University Health Centre and co-PI and leader of the meth
 ods team for the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies.  
 His research interests centre on causal inference in epidemiologic studies
 \, with emphasis on pediatric and perinatal epidemiology as well as pharma
 coepidemiology.
