My research focuses on using behavioral theory and novel methodologies to develop adaptive interventions, namely interventions that use ongoing information about the individual to modify the type/intensity/delivery-mode of support.
Health Psychology:
- Adaptive Interventions
- Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions
- Social Support, Stress and Health
Research Methods:
- Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) and related data analytic methods for constructing adaptive interventions
- Factorial and Fractional Factorial Designs
- Multilevel Data Analysis and Experimental Designs for developing behavioral interventions
