Can collaborative systems science methods improve intervention strategies to reduce alcohol-related problems?
Wed, Feb 22, 2023 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science

Speaker: Dr. Christina Mair, Associate Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Behavioral and Community Health Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health
Talk Title: Can collaborative systems science methods improve intervention strategies to reduce alcohol-related problems?
Abstract: Systems science approaches, such as agent-based models, provide the opportunity to compare a range of intervention implementation strategies in a simulated environment. The usefulness of a given model, however, is limited by its accuracy, focus, and salience to end users. In this talk, Dr. Mair will share a collaborator-designed systems model of alcohol-involved sexual violence on college campuses currently being developed through a series of collaborative model building sessions with a learning collaborative. Integrating collaborative model building with agent-based model development is an innovative, empirically-based approach that can improve implementation of effective strategies to address alcohol-involved sexual violence, promote preventive interventions, and stimulate campus-level policy and programmatic changes to reduce sexual violence among students.
This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Research Colloquium.
