Description: “Anthropology explores human culture, behavior, and expression using an ethnographic approach, which employs multiple methods of data collection to construct a holistic and contextual view of the phenomena under study. It excels in uncovering unexpected insights by studying a topic in person, in situ, over time, and from diverse perspectives.” www.pcmh.ahrq.gov

“Efficient and effective conduct of a research study of any size, or any topic, can be a challenge. We’ve collected a helpful array of resources to aid the study management process, including procedures for informed consent, operations manuals for clinical research, and ways to keep both research staff and participants engaged over time.”

Description: This paper by B. Borrelli PhD introduces the concept of treatment fidelity in health behavior change trials conducted in public health contexts. It outlines the National Institutes of Health’s Behavioral Change Consortium framework for assessing and monitoring treatment fidelity across five domains: Study Design, Training, Delivery, Receipt, and Enactment. Specific guidelines on how to integrate treatment fidelity measures into study design and implementation are discussed.

Description: Jonathan Tobin PhD, FACE, FAHA, President/CEO of Clinical Directors Network Inc. (CDN) and Co-Director of Community Engaged Research at The Rockefeller University Center for Clinical and Translational Science, discusses translational research implementation strategy and models of community-based randomized clinical trials of behavioral interventions. He uses the specific example of a model utilized in a multi-phase, multi-site, randomized controlled trial, SMART/EST, which implemented stress management and relaxation training/expressive supportive therapy to women who are HIV positive, to improve physiological and mental health related outcomes. Strategy for sustained implementation of interventions within health centers after study completion is discussed. The session imparts knowledge on the interface between behavioral interventions, clinical outcomes, and biological markers as well as discusses the distinctions between clinical, behavioral, public health, patient-centered, and biological outcomes.
