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.
