Training in new methods for behavioral clinical trials
Innovative approaches to randomized behavioral clinical trials
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · UNIVERSITY OF UTAH · NIH-11247681
This study is all about helping scientists learn how to better design and run clinical trials for behavioral therapies, which are important for improving health but often overlooked, and it's aimed at researchers who are just starting out or are in the middle of their careers.

What this research studies
This research focuses on providing advanced training for scientists in designing and conducting randomized clinical trials (RCTs) specifically for behavioral interventions. The program aims to enhance the evidence base for behavioral therapies, which are currently underrepresented in public health guidelines and insurance coverage. Participants will engage in a hybrid learning experience that includes both in-person and online components, allowing them to apply new methodologies to their own research projects. The course is tailored for early- to mid-career researchers who are actively involved in behavioral intervention studies.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are early- to mid-career scientists planning or conducting behavioral clinical trials.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in behavioral intervention research or who are not researchers themselves may not benefit from this training program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective behavioral therapies that improve patient outcomes and inform public health practices.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of training researchers in behavioral RCT design is innovative, there is a growing recognition of the need for such training in the field, suggesting potential for success based on similar educational initiatives.
