Abstract: Research in mental health is conducted with the ultimate goal of lessening the burdens of mental disorders. But there are major challenges in mental illness prevention, treatment, and service, all due to limitations in existing data, measurement, design, and analysis. Throughout his all too brief life Professor Thomas R. Ten Have pushed through these limits by developing novel statistical methods and their application in collaborative research. It is now left to us to continue down these paths that he laid for us. One of the fundamental challenges he and others recognized was the long lag between the development of statistical methods that could enlighten psychiatric research, and the use of these statistical methods in practice. Too often methods that are inadequate or inappropriate to the task are used. We illustrate the large gap between development and practical use of a number of innovative statistical ideas that have addressed challenges in longitudinal research, community-based randomized trials, mediation analysis, and missing data analysis. We discuss how these methods have naturally diffused and evolved over time and how inappropriate methods, such as "Last Observation Carried Forward" have become entrenched. A change needs to be made to move these new methods into practice more rapidly with precision. We then explore how mixed methods used in implementation science can provide new directions to pursue, as this young field itself is attempting to move evidence based interventions and programs into practice. Finally, some risks are identified, with illustrations of how inappropriate use of statistical methods have sometimes led to widespread societal failures.

Do you conduct research? Are you looking for a quick and inexpensive recruitment resource?
If you are a researcher, postdoc, or project manager involved in study recruitment, this training is for you!
What is ResearchMatch?
- A web-based recruitment registry
- A tool to connect volunteers who are interested in participating in research with researchers
- A free, complementary recruitment resource for researchers
This training will provide an introduction to ResearchMatch, how to register as a researcher, and how you can connect with potential volunteers.
Sponsored by Center for Health Behavior Research & Community Engagement and Research (CEAR) Core of the UPENN CTSA
Dr. T. Sundararaman, the Executive Director of India’s National Health Systems Resource Center (http://nhsrcindia.org/ ) will lead an informal talk/conversation.
