Leveraging Experimental Approaches to Optimize Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions
Just-in-time adaptive interventions aim to provide the right support at the right moment. In this virtual research talk, Dr. Stephanie Marita Carpenter examines how micro-randomized trials can be used to estimate the proximal effects of intervention components, understand how those effects change over time, and identify the psychological and contextual factors that shape engagement. Drawing on two trials, she illustrates practical strategies for optimizing digital interventions for substance-use prevention.
Stephanie Marita Carpenter, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Population Health in the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University. Her research examines engagement, emotion, and health behavior using approaches tailored to individual needs. She develops digital health and mobile health interventions—including just-in-time adaptive interventions—and incorporates wearable sensing and ecological momentary assessment to support behavior change in areas such as substance use, physical activity, stress regulation, and weight management.
