Draft:Inbal Nahum-Shani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inbal Billie Nahum-Shani is a Research Professor at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.[1] She is also the Director of the Data Science for Dynamic Decision-Making Center (d3c) at the U-M Institute for Social Research.[2]

Research Focus

[edit]

Nahum-Shani's research centers on the development and application of behavioral theories and innovative methodologies aimed at creating adaptive interventions. These interventions are designed to adjust the type, timing, dosage, or delivery method of support to address the specific and evolving needs of individuals.[3] Her research is distinguished by its emphasis on utilizing digital technology to facilitate real-time adaptation of interventions in individuals’ daily environments.[4]

Leadership

[edit]

As Director of the Data Science for Dynamic Decision-making Center (d3c), Nahum-Shani oversees several major research projects, including a P50 Center of Excellence funded by the NIH and NIDA.[5] This center focuses on advancing experimental designs and data analytic methods to adapt and personalize services, particularly for drug use and HIV prevention and treatment.[6]

Research Interests

[edit]

Nahum-Shani's primary research interests involve utilizing behavioral theory and novel methodologies to develop adaptive interventions. These interventions use ongoing information about individuals to modify the type, intensity, or delivery mode of support.[7] Her work focuses on developing and extending experimental designs, including Factorial Designs,[8] Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials (SMARTs),[9] Micro-Randomized Trials (MRTs),[10] and Hybrid Experimental Designs (HEDs).[11]
