Research Interests

Dr LeBlanc received his PhD in Physiological Psychology in 1984. After funding dried up for research into the consequences of cerebrovascular disease in rabbits, he switched careers and took a full-time position as the statistical consultant at the computer center of the University of Miami. In an 11-year span, he collaborated with researchers across numerous fields, ranging from arthroscopic interventions into disorders of the temporo-mandibular joint to architectural interventions affecting community security. For the next nine years Dr. LeBlanc brought order and meaning to the databases of Valencia Community College in Orlando. He currently lives in a log home in Missoula, MT, mining through the mountain of data of the NHIS, looking at associations between occupation and health.
