Center for Advancement and Dissemination of Intervention Optimization (CADIO)

Intervention optimization is an emerging scientific field. In this field ideas from behavioral science, engineering, public health, quantitative and qualitative methods, economics, and decision science are integrated to produce innovative approaches for empirical development and optimization of interventions.

MOST from a Conceptual Perspective

Dear Caddy…

How would you respond if, in a summary statement, one of the reviewers said that MOST can no longer be considered innovative? Sincerely, Asking for a Friend   Read the answer here.  

January Training: Now Accepting Applications

Our next virtual training on intervention optimization will be held from January 13-16th,2025. Applications are now open and will be accepted through November 1st. Please click here or visit the "Training" page under "CADIO Academy" for more information.

Intervention Optimization

Intervention optimization is a different way of thinking for intervention scientists. Here you’ll understand the rationale behind and the goal(s) of intervention optimization.

CADIO Academy

Increasing capacity of scientists working in the intervention optimization space across a variety of disciplines is central to CADIO’s mission.

REDCap with Most

The goal of this manual is to show how one might setup a REDCap project to support a research study with multiple conditions, such as factorial experiments common in the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework.

Informal introduction to factorial experimental designs

The purpose of this page is to clarify some concepts, notation, and terminology related to factorial experimental designs, and to compare and contrast factorial experiments to randomized controlled trials (RCTs). A more in-depth introduction can...
