 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Due to recent technological advances, state-of-the art data collection and analysis methods are evolving faster than ever before. This makes it difficult for drug abuse and HIV prevention researchers to keep up with the latest research methods. We propose to continue a series of annual dissemination conferences, called the Summer Institutes on Innovative Methods, which are designed to provide drug abuse and HIV researchers with the knowledge and skills needed to apply the most salient innovations in the collection and analysis of intensive longitudinal data (ILD). This focus on ILD is in response to (a) technological advances that enable the collection of real-time, real-world data related to health behavior (e.g., smart phones, wearable sensors), and (b) the growing priority area at the National Institutes of Health on mHealth (mobile health). ILD enable a deeper, more nuanced study of dynamic processes related to behavior and have the potential to inform the real-time delivery of behavioral interventions. The proposed conferences will help prevention scientists gain conceptual and practical understanding of state-of-the-art ILD methods they can apply in their research. All of these conferences will be presented by leading experts in ILD methods and will feature hands-on data analysis and/or sample data collection by participants. Topics include the collection of ILD, power analysis for planning new ILD studies, and two modern analytic methods for ILD that can help researchers gain critical knowledge from their complex data. In the final year of funding, we propose to organize a large, two-day capstone conference that will bring together leading methodologists (including presenters and selected trainees from the previous four years of this R13) and drug abuse and HIV prevention researchers working with ILD. Together, these scientists will be poised to build the next generation of adaptive behavioral interventions. Due to decades of experience both in developing innovative methods for longitudinal data and in training researchers to apply those methods, the Methodology Center at Penn State is uniquely qualified to organize this highly specialized, greatly needed dissemination activity.

 描述（由申请人提供）：由于最近的技术进步，最先进的数据收集和分析方法的发展速度比以往任何时候都快。这使得药物滥用和艾滋病毒预防研究人员很难跟上最新的研究方法。我们建议继续举办一系列年度传播会议，称为创新方法夏季研究所，旨在为药物滥用和艾滋病毒研究人员提供在密集纵向数据（ILD）的收集和分析中应用最显着的创新所需的知识和技能。对 ILD 的关注是为了响应 (a) 能够收集与健康行为相关的实时、真实数据的技术进步（例如智能手机、可穿戴传感器），以及 (b) 美国国立卫生研究院在 mHealth（移动健康）方面日益优先的领域。 ILD 能够对与行为相关的动态过程进行更深入、更细致的研究，并有可能为行为干预的实时实施提供信息。拟议的会议将帮助预防科学家获得对可应用于研究的最先进 ILD 方法的概念和实践理解。所有这些会议都将由 ILD 方法领域的领先专家进行演讲，并将由参与者进行实践数据分析和/或样本数据收集。主题包括 ILD 的收集、规划新 ILD 研究的功效分析，以及 ILD 的两种现代分析方法，可以帮助研究人员从复杂的数据中获得关键知识。在资助的最后一年，我们建议组织一次为期两天的大型顶点会议，会议将汇集领先的方法学家（包括本 R13 前四年的演讲者和选定的学员）以及与 ILD 合作的药物滥用和艾滋病毒预防研究人员。这些科学家将共同准备建立下一代适应性行为干预措施。由于在开发纵向数据创新方法和培训研究人员应用这些方法方面拥有数十年的经验，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的方法中心具有独特的资格来组织这项高度专业化、急需的传播活动。
