ACBM AUTUMN WEBINAR

Innovative trial designs to develop and optimize psychological interventions:
Updates and outlooks

Tuesday 8th October 2024

1-4pm London time

Click to register now!

Registration closes 7th October 2024

ACBM Member registration fee: $0 USD (free)

Non-member registration fee: $25 USD

This webinar will provide an overview of various trial designs commonly used in clinical psychology research, including single-case experimental designs, multiple assignment, randomized trials, and the leapfrog design.



Learn about the strengths and limitations of each design, as well as best practices for selecting the most appropriate design for your research questions.

WEBINAR SPEAKERS

How n-of-1 trials can complement current research practices: An introduction to Single Case Experimental Designs



Dr. Saskia Scholten

RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau

Single Case Experimental Designs (SCEDs) offer refined approaches to visual analysis, such as novel effect size metrics, alongside advanced inferential statistical methods like randomization tests and multi-level modeling. SCEDs also make it possible to draw causal inferences at the individual level, and to synthesise findings across replicated single-case studies. These innovations hold the potential to expand current trial designs and explore cognitive biases at the individual level.

This presentation will introduce the core concepts, methods, and analytical techniques of Single Case Experimental Designs.

Developing Adaptive Interventions: Introduction to Sequential, Multiple-Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) Designs



Jeremy W. Eberle

Northwestern University

Adaptive interventions tailor the type or dosage of treatment to each patient and adjust the treatment as needed to maximize individual treatment outcomes. Sequential, multiple-assignment randomized trial (SMART) designs can inform the development of adaptive interventions by testing key questions about when and how to adapt treatment. 



This presentation will introduce the main concepts and methods of SMART designs and illustrate them with a recent SMART design that tested web-based interpretation bias training and the addition of supplemental telecoaching in a large sample of anxious community adults.

Using a ‘Leapfrog’ Design to Speed up Development and Optimisation of CBM Interventions



Dr. Simon E. Blackwell

University of Göttingen

We often have many different ideas for how we could implement or improve our CBM interventions but are unable to test most of these due to time and resource limitations. The leapfrog design is a simplified version of a Bayesian adaptive platform trial design that can substantially reduce the time and participant numbers needed to test multiple interventions.


This talk will introduce the basics of the leapfrog design, including an example completed leapfrog trial, and provide resources to help researchers familiarise themselves with the methods and start planning their own leapfrog trials.
