During today’s #behavioralmedchat, we’re talking about optimization of behavioral and biobehavioral interventions, or how to design more efficient, efficacious, economical, and immediately scalable health interventions.

And I would be curious to better understand reasonable costs per person for interventions delivered through nutrition assistance program. For example, what’s an appropriate cost constraint when building an jntervention to be delivered through WIC or SNAP?

Just saying, the 2/25 webinar would be a great way to prepare for our pre-#SBM2021 workshop: Course 17: "Practicalities of the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (#MOST): How to Effectively & Efficiently Conduct an #Optimization Trial" @kguastaferroPhD @APfam SBM

Just watched this webinar by my OBBI_SIG colleagues. I work in optimization and still learned SO much today. Agree with @kguastaferroPhD, @AhnaleeB and @APfam are MOST SMART.

I see you all. I am grateful. 🖤

BSM will continue to apply pressure and hold the board of trustees accountable for their actions. This is only the beginning. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿Photo Credits: Chapelhillboro.com
