“Adaptive interventions” represent an exciting new frontier in evidence-based practices. A growing body of research shows that the effective prevention or treatment of a wide variety of health disorders often requires individualized, sequential decision-making. However, designing adaptive interventions requires new and different methods for developing and testing these programs. 

To explore these questions, the Institute for Translational Research in Children’s Mental Health is excited to host adaptive intervention expert Danny Almirall as part of its 2019 colloquium series. Dr. Almirall is an expert in developing methods for adaptive interventions and has a deep body of work on new approaches to data collection and analysis. He is a research professor at the University of Michigan and co-director of the Data Science for Dynamic Intervention Decision-Making Lab. 

Attendees will have the chance to learn more about Dr. Almirall’s work on adaptive interventions and the most effective methods to test and optimize them. 

Meet with Dr. Almirall

Interested researchers, including students, are invited to meet personally with Dr. Almirall while he is in town. He is available before and after the talk on Monday Feb. 25 as well as the following morning. A light lunch will be served beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Monday for students who would like to meet.
