Lisa A. Marsch, Ph.D.Director of the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health at the Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center at Dartmouth College and a faculty member of the Department of Psychiatry at Dartmouth College.The Center for Technology and Behavioral Health is a P30 “Center of Excellence” supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), composed of an interdisciplinary research and development group focused on the systematic application of cutting-edge technologies to the delivery of behavior change interventions for individuals with substance use disorders and other behavioral health issues. With funding from NIH, Dr. Marsch has led a line of research focused on the development and

evaluation of state of the art, technology-based (computer-, mobile-, and Internet-delivered) interventions targeting substance abuse treatment among a wide array of youth and adult populations, HIV prevention among substance-using youth and adults, and substance abuse and other risk behavior prevention among children and adolescents. These technology-based therapeutic tools reflect an integration of science-based behavioral interventions with evidence-based informational technologies. This work has been conducted in a variety of settings, including physician offices, substance abuse treatment programs, criminal justice settings, educational settings and via the Internet. This research has provided novel empirical information regarding the role that technology may play in improving the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders and related behavioral health issues in a manner that is cost-effective, ensures fidelity and enables the rapid diffusion and widespread adoption of science-based interventions.

Presentation Title: Transforming Addiction Treatment with Science-based TechnologyDescription: Overview of technology-based interventions for substance use disorders, the research behind them, and thoughts about the future...where are we going.

David Mohr, PhDDirector, Northwestern University’s Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies (CBITs) and tenured Professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine Dr. Mohr’s work lies at the intersection of behavioral science, technology, and clinical intervention research, and is focused on developing and evaluating interventions that harness Internet and wireless technologies to promote health and mental health. His current work in development includes the following projects: 1) development a context sensing mobile application that harnesses indwelling sensor data within the phone to identify

specific physical, social and emotional patient states and to integrate this system into mobile interventions; 2) integration of Internet intervention and peer networking tools that use principles of online collaborative learning and supportive accountability to enhance learning and adherence; 3) development of conversational agents (virtual humans) that can be used in web-based interventions to support interpersonal skills-training components of depression treatment programs, and 4) creation of a mobile intervention that monitors adherence to medications, provides just-in-time reminders, monitors response and side effects, and provides aggregated, actionable information to prescribing physicians. This later adherence system will be tested in patients receiving pharmacotherapies for depression and HIV, with a somewhat simpler version for patients with schizophrenia. Dr. Mohr is also interested in methodologies for the evaluation of behavioral interventions.

Presentation Title: Behavioral Intervention Technologies: Bring Treatment for Depression into the Fabric of Our Lives Description: Depression is common and debilitating. More often than not, depression is undertreated or not treated at all. Behavioral intervention technologies (BITs), which use information and communications technologies (currently the telephone, web, mobile phones, and sensors) to deliver behavioral and psychological interventions, offer the promise of extending treatment into the lives of our patients. Delivering psychotherapy by telephone can extend treatment, overcoming geographic barriers, but does not address cost barriers. Web-based interventions, and more recently mobile interventions, attempt to translate psychological treatment models into applications that deliver treatment. These interventions can be effective, but demand engagement by users, and thus often require some level of human support to maintain motivation and engagement. Models for providing low intensity human support will be described. More recent work focuses on harnessing the affordances of technologies to decrease user effort. A recent line of research is attempting to use sensor data (GPS, Wi-Fi, accelerometers, Bluetooth, light sensors, etc.) from mobile phones to develop models that can passively identify treatment relevant user states (location, activity, social context, and emotional state), which can in turn be used to trigger just-in-time positive reinforcement of treatment congruent activities and assistance when risk states are detected. Finally, a brief description of the Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies (CBITs; www.cbits.northwestern.edu) and its development frameworks will be provided.

Keynote Speakers


David H. Gustafson PhDResearch Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering and Director of the Center for Health Enhancement Systems Studies at the University of Wisconsin-MadisonDr. Gustafson is a Fellow of the Association for Health Services Research and of the American Medical Informatics Association. He is a Fellow and past Vice-Chair of the Board of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Board Chair of the eHealth Institute, and past Chair of the Federal Government’s Science Panel on Interactive Communications in Health. Dr. Gustafson is National Program Director of NIATx, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation initiative to improve quality of services in substance abuse treatment agencies.

His research on organizational improvement focuses on making and sustaining organizational change. He developed a computer system (QISS - the Quality Improvement Support System) to help organizations implement quality improvement. He developed new techniques for facilitating groups and understanding customer needs. Evaluating the computer systems led to new models to measure: customer satisfaction; severity; medical under-service; and quality of care. His behavior change research led to models to predict and explain initiation of and adherence to organizational change. The addiction treatment field is his primary test bed for these organizational change initiatives. Dr. Gustafson’s interests in decision change and information theory applied to health systems come together in the design and evaluation of systems and tools to help individuals and organizations cope with major changes. Regarding individual change, his research teams have created systems to detect suicidal propensity, help teenagers adopt healthy behaviors and help families facing major health crises cope more effectively. That work focuses on the Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS), a computer system to help people facing serious situations such as breast and prostate cancer, asthma, AIDS/HIV, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and sexual assault. CHESS has been tested in randomized trials and field tests involving several thousand people and provided insight into acceptance, use, and impact of computer-based support systems on health, health-related behavior, and health service use. Dr. Gustafson has authored several books and over one hundred journal articles.

Panel: Innovations in Technology Assisted CarePresentation Title: Combining CBT and ACHESS; the Seva experienceDescription: This presentation will describe the work we are doing to integrate ACHESS the TES (CBT program developed by Lisa Marsch). The resulting system (called Seva (Sanskrit for Selfless Caring) is being used in two (soon to be three) FQHCs in Madison, Missoula, MT and the Bronx. TES provides the skills training and ACHESS the recovery support. Experience so far will be reported and the system itself will be described.

Nancy Barnett, PhDProfessor, Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies and Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences, School of Public Health, Brown University. Dr. Barnett is a research scientist who focuses on developing and testing brief interventions for substance use among adolescents and adults in various settings including emergency departments, juvenile detention, and colleges. Her research has included developing and using computer- and web-based assessment, and her intervention research has evaluated the efficacy of stand-alone computer-based interventions, counselor administered interventions facilitated using various technologies, and text-message based interventions.

One of Dr. Barnett’s current research areas is evaluating the clinical utility of an alcohol biosensor that senses alcohol excreted through the skin. She has conducted two trials that addressed the acceptability of the sensor and its initial efficacy within a contingency management intervention. She has also developed software that accurately identifies drinking episodes in alcohol sensor data and translates transdermal alcohol concentration into estimates of breath alcohol concentration, a development that allows for rapid interpretation of sensor data. Dr. Barnett’s research has been supported by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the Center for AIDS Research. Presentation Title: Alcohol Biosensors: Research Background and Clinical Applications

Panel: Innovations in Technology Assisted Care PanelPresentation Title: Alcohol Biosensors: Research Background and Clinical ApplicationsDescription: The collection of objective information in real time using biosensors can facilitate diagnosis and treatment, and has become more commonplace and accepted for various conditions. This presentation will provide an overview of alcohol biosensors, including background on validity, reliability, and acceptability. Alcohol sensors have successfully supported abstinence within the criminal justice population, but the potential for their use is much broader. Two pilot trials investigating the efficacy of contingent reinforcers for reducing alcohol use utilizing an alcohol sensor to provide objective data on behavior change will be presented, as will suggestions for new applications of this technology for intervention with alcohol use disorders, and challenges to its adoption in clinical settings.

Session DescriptionsTechnology Assisted Care Use and Receptivity among American Indians/Alaska Natives

Likewise, many health topics, including drug and alcohol use, STD/HIV, and suicide, require sensitivity when designing health promotion messages that will resonate in AI/AN communities. Three leading researchers working in the area of substance abuse treatment services among AI/AN populations will show how using technology-based interventions and social media can decrease barriers to accessing treatment services and improve service delivery, and be used to disseminate culturally appropriate health promotion messages.
