In this webinar, Dr. Rodrigo Lopes from University of Bern will present the methods and results of his OPTIMIZE research project.

Dr. Liliane Windsor and collaborators from Critical Consciousness Collaborative (3C) will present their work on advancing methodological frameworks in multilevel intervention.

Dr. Liz Lockhart from Henry Ford Health System, will present her work on Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). She will discuss the development and implementation of multi-level components for both patients and providers and factors considered for cluster randomization.

In this special edition webinar, Dr. Rebecca Walwyn, Associate Professor at the University of Leeds, UK will give an overview of trial designs that might be considered in the optimization phase of MOST when interventions involve a chain of components (e.g., training of therapists, treatment of patients) or when components are directed at multiple levels of a health or social care system (e.g., dental practices, patients).

Dr. David Vanness, Professor at Penn State, will give a background on the history of using economic evaluation methods to evaluate interventions and present the case that the DAIVE approach may offer advantages over traditional cost-effective analysis (CEA) as a decision-making tool in the optimization phase of MOST.

Sophie Green, Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, will talk about the optimization of an information leaflet aiming to support medication adherence in women with breast cancer.

In this webinar, Dr. Jillian Strayhorn, Associate Director of CADIO, will pitch the latest thinking on methods for selecting optimized interventions based on data from optimization RCTs, leaving time for questions and discussion among the CADIO leadership.

In this webinar, Dr. Danielle Ostendorf, Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado SOM, will present the overall design and goal of her NIH-funded Career Development Award and walk through her decision-making process.

In this discussion, CADIO Director Linda Collins and Associate Directors Kate Guastaferro and Jillian Strayhorn will address common questions about intervention optimization.

Dr. Ellen Fitzsimmons-Craft, Associate Professor at Washington University School of Medicine, will present on her work using user-centered design to develop a chatbot to identify individuals with eating disorders and encourage services use.

In this panel discussion, CADIO Director Linda Collins and Associate Directors Kate Guastaferro and Jillian Strayhorn will clarify when investigators should use a conclusion- vs. decision-priority perspective.

Dr. Edward Watkins, Professor of Experimental and Applied Clinical Psychology at the University of Exeter, will describe the design, findings, and lessons of a factorial trial examining therapist-supported internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy for depression, along with future plans in this space.

Dr. Karey O’Hara, Assistant Professor at Arizona State University, will talk about the intervention design itself as an implementation determinant that often gets overlooked.
