Dr. John Griffith is the Associate Dean for Research, Director of the Bouvé Office for Research, and a Clinical Professor in the Departments of Health Science and in Counseling and Applied Educational Psychology at the Bouvé College at Northeastern University. Prior to joining Northeastern he was the Director of the Research Design Center with the Tufts Clinical And Translational Science Institute and the Associate Director for the CTS program at the Tufts Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Griffith teaches undergraduate and graduate students at the Bouvé College and is currently the primary statistician for ongoing projects investigating end-of-life decision making for patients on dialysis (PCORI), an exploration of the relationships between dietary patterns and progression of CVD risk factors in a Puerto Rican population (NIH), and an investigation into the relationships and mechanisms among psychiatric disorders, limited literacy and mental health service utilization (NIH).
Dr. Griffith's research interests include the construction and validation of statistical prediction models for medical decision making, evaluation of support systems for end-of-life care, and the design of clinical trials. He has extensive experience in training clinicians in research methods and has created the Biostatistics Service Center at Northeastern to assist researchers in data analysis and analytic plan development. Dr. Griffith earned his Master’s degree at Tufts University and his PhD at Boston University.
