[Prevscilist] PREV course offerings in Spring 2020: Adaptive Designs; Prevention & Policy; Risk Resilience in Adolescence

[Atika Khurana]

Dear PREV and CPSY students,

I'm writing to inform you about some of the new(ish) class offerings in PREV for Spring 2020.

One of them is PREV 610: Adaptive Designs (CRN: 36234<http://classes.uoregon.edu/pls/prod/hwskdhnt.p_viewdetl?term=201903&crn=36234>) taught by Dr. Dave DeGarmo (degarmo at uoregon.edu). The course will cover Adaptive Research Designs, including MOST and SMART trials, Preference Trials, and Response to Intervention designs, with the focus on research designs providing data on how better tailor interventions to address heterogeneity in the focal populations and to better treat individual differences in treatment response.



MOST trials focus on component comparisons, SMART trials focus on what is the best sequence of two or more interventions, preference trials focus on whether giving respondents choices in treatments leads to better outcomes, and RTi response to intervention is monitoring and tiered approach based on response.  We will define and learn the key elements of each designs and students will have the opportunity to design a real or hypothetical study. We will learn upstream and downstream analytic issues including power analyses and fractional factorial analysis in R. However, the content is largely seminar driven with about 25% methodological demonstration and application.

Additionally, we have two classes that Dr. Justin Caouette (jcaouett at uoregon.edu) will be teaching next term -

PREV 610: Prevention and Policy (WEB) (CRN: 36216<http://classes.uoregon.edu/pls/prod/hwskdhnt.p_viewdetl?term=201903&crn=36216>)
PREV 632: Risk and Resilience in Adolescence (CRN: 36572<http://classes.uoregon.edu/pls/prod/hwskdhnt.p_viewdetl?term=201903&crn=36572>)

Please feel free to follow up directly with the course instructors (emails included) if you have any questions.

Best,
Atika
