Dennis Gorman is a Professor in the Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at Texas A&M University. His work focuses on the intersection of public health, epidemiology, and social sciences, particularly examining alcohol and drug abuse, violence, and methodological rigor in prevention research.
- Education: PhD in Medical Sociology from the University of Essex (1988), MSc in Medical Sociology from the University of London, and BA in Social Science from the Polytechnic of Central London.
His research interests center on applying the scientific method to public health challenges, with a focus on spatial analysis of alcohol outlets and violent crime, evidence-based practices, and the critique of methodological standards in prevention programs. He has extensively analyzed selective reporting bias, outcome misclassification, and the limitations of systematic reviews in public health literature.
The most recent articles in his portfolio highlight trends in research integrity, including critiques of registered reports, outcome reporting bias, and the impact of statistical methodology on study validity. His work frequently addresses the spatial dynamics of substance abuse and the philosophical underpinnings of evidence-based public health interventions.
Teaching interests include community needs assessment, program evaluation, public health approaches to drug prevention, and fundamentals of epidemiology. Contact is available via gorman@tamu.edu.
