October 30: Statistical Reasoning in Biomedical Research
October 30 | 12:00 - 1:00 pm CT
Freeman Auditorium (930 Madison, 3rd Fl.)
Statistical Reasoning in Biomedical Research seminar series, presented by the Division of Biostatistics, Department of Preventive Medicine
"Navigating Adaptive Interventions: Statistical Considerations in Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials"
Fridtjof Thomas, PhD, Professor, and Yuan Zhang, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Division of Biostatistics
In clinical care, treatments are often adjusted based on a patient's response. These personalized, stepwise approaches-known as adaptive interventions or dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs)-can be studied using Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials (SMARTs). This seminar will introduce the fundamentals of DTRs and SMART designs, covering key statistical considerations and real-world examples of adaptive intervention research.
