View workshop objectives
Please note that these objectives are provided in the language each workshop will be offered. All objectives are subject to change and provided exclusively for informational purposes.
Quality control in behavioural trials: Assessing fidelity and processes of change
- To introduce and develop knowledge and skills in intervention fidelity and processes of change within behavioural trials
- To describe approaches to the development of theory-based behaviour change interventions and outline strategies to measure mechanisms of action within behavioural trials
- To introduce participants to potential strategies for assessing and enhancing intervention fidelity within behavioural trials
- To give participants an opportunity to apply learning to examples of behavioural trials, as well as considering strategies for application to their own projects
The ‘Nuts and Bolts’ of Behavioral Intervention Development
This workshop will provide investigators who are interested in the design and preliminary testing of health-related behavioral interventions an opportunity to :
- Learn about the ORBIT model, a framework designed to guide behavioral treatment development (see http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/2015-03938-001/)
- Learn about appropriate study designs and methods at each phase of the behavioral intervention development process
- Apply the ORBIT model and knowledge about relevant methodologies to their own behavioral treatment development projects
Intelligent interventions: How we can use AI to build and exploit intervention knowledge bases
- To identify major challenges in organizing and synthesizing scientific evidence about health interventions
- To describe state-of-the art computational methods for extracting, organizing, and annotating health evidence
- To list several intelligent applications of health evidence systematized in highly structured, formal knowledge repositories
Re-engineering precision behavioural therapeutics through n-of-1 trials
- Provide a framework for understanding the Personalized or N-of-1 trial methodology.
- Examine the design, appropriateness, and performance to date of Personalized trials and the implications of these for health systems
- Understand the market forces and patient and clinician attitudes towards this type of trial design
- Provide clinical examples and tools to empower workshop participants to design and conduct their own N-of-1 trial
Comment réduire les risques de biais de sélection dans une revue systématique d’interventions comportementales en santé?
- Éviter les biais de sélection des articles dans les méta-analyses ou revues systématiques
- Garantir qu’une revue est exhaustive
- Discuter des stratégies permettant de faciliter l’identification des publications pertinentes d’études cliniques ou interventionnelles visant un changement de comportement de santé
Using Qualitative Research Embedded in Behavioural Trials
- Discuss the potential of including qualitative research in behavioural trials
- Understand the rationale underlying methodological decisions when using embedded qualitative research in behavioural trials
Design of Optimization Trials
- Rationale and use cases for MOST
- Designing a MOST factorial experiment
- Implementing a MOST factorial experiment – illustration from the Opt-IN weight loss trial
Mindfulness-Based Interventions for Physical Health Conditions
Dr. Carlson will introduce concepts of mindfulness and its application through Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) to cancer care and for other physical health conditions. She will review a sample of studies done by her team and others and include practice of experiential mindfulness activities typically taught to patients.
- Participants will learn the definition of mindfulness and why mindfulness training is useful for people with physical health conditions.
- Participants will become familiar with the scientific literature on MBIs for cancer and other chronic physical health conditions.
- Participants will engage in experiential mindfulness meditation activities typically included in MBIs.
Living well with COPD: Behaviour change interventions for chronic lung disease
In this session we will review how to best construct and deliver a self-management intervention using the tools from the Living Well with COPD program and online platform. The session’s learning objectives are:
- To better guide the patient in the integration of self-management behaviours by understanding the strategies, techniques and skills used by healthcare providers to instrument patients with the knowledge, confidence and skills required to effectively self-manage their chronic lung disease.
- To provide practical examples on how to implement a quality control assurance program for self-management.
Mettre au point des interventions psycho-comportementales en oncologie : choisir des activités et comprendre leurs mécanismes de fonctionnement
- Reconnaître les principales étapes de développement d’une intervention psycho-comportementale dans un domaine clinique complexe comme l’oncologie pédiatrique
- Combiner des composantes existantes pour optimiser le changement, et adapter ces composantes à des contextes cliniques nouveaux
- Optimiser la pertinence d’une intervention et développer un raisonnement tactique pour organiser les composantes dans le temps pour choisir la bonne cible au bon moment et lever les barrières
- Adopter une perspective familiale pour optimiser le sentiment de capacité et l’engagement dans le changement
- Articuler le programme de recherche avec l’activité clinique existante
