  This project explored the attributions and reasons college students might limit or abstain from using illicit substances. I participated throughout the project

  including an iterative item development stage

  item analysis

  and extensive exploration of alternative methods to present and visualize the key insights provided by this unique dataset.

  Associations between type of drug and university students' reported reasons for abstinence and limited use of illicit substances.

  Developed complete test bank for the use of a national market of faculty adopting the textbook. The project included developing assessment objectives for each chapter

  stratifying item difficulty across item type

  incorporating past data on items developed and implemented in my courses

  and formatting items for submission through the publisher's proprietary software system.

  In this study

  the researchers evaluated how a person's ease and comfort with basic mathematics can affect the types of risks they would take on decisions that have either immediate

  predictable consequences

  or delayed

  probabilistic consequences. The paper was stalled in the publication process

  so I was consulted to re-write the paper

  clarifying the theoretical justification for the study

  and then to re-analyze the data (including new analyses)

  targeting the analysis and interpretation to clarify how each hypothesis was addressed and supported by the evidence. The result was the publication of this study in the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making.
