Novel Meta-Analytic Applications for Advancing Intervention Research

Colloquium and Q&A
Wednesday, January 11, 2017 - 11:15 AM-12:45 PM
HEDCO 230T
Lunch provided at 11:00 AM

Meta-analysis is a widely applied method for synthesizing evidence on intervention effectiveness. In this talk, Dr. Tanner-Smith will discuss some of her recent research using novel meta-analytic techniques for examining the effects of interventions aimed at promoting the health and well-being of youth. First she will discuss using meta-analysis to guide propensity score estimation in a quasi-experimental study examining the effects of recovery high school attendance for youth with substance use disorders. Next she will discuss the use of meta-regression with robust variance estimation for modeling heterogeneity in the effects of brief interventions aimed at reducing alcohol use among youth. Finally she will discuss the benefits of individual participant data meta-analysis for examining patient-level variability in intervention effects, highlighting the utility of this method for advancing precision medicine-focused behavioral intervention research.

Emily Tanner-Smith, Ph.D., is an Associate Research Professor in the Department of Human and Organizational Development, and Co-Director of the Meta-analysis Center at the Peabody Research Institute at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Tanner-Smith is an applied research methodologist with expertise in experimental and quasi-experimental designs, systematic reviewing, and meta-analysis. Her research focuses on adolescent behavior and development, with specific emphasis on the prevention, treatment, and social epidemiology of substance use. Her recent research has been funded by the Institute of Education Sciences, National Institutes of Health, and the National Institute of Justice.
