 ty\n\nHow SMART is your trial? Obtain quality data about dynamic treatment
  regimes\n\nALL ARE WELCOME\n\nAbstract:\n\nCurrent practice in randomized
  trials typically focuses on identifying the single best treatment for a p
 articular condition. Clinical practice\, however\, has consistently been m
 ore concerned with a patient- rather than disease-centric approach. Dynami
 c treatment regimes are part of a rapidly expanding area of research where
 by such personalized treatment strategies can be identified. These methods
  can lead to improved results over standard 'one size fits all' approaches
 \, and provide a route to formalizing treatment adjustments in an evidence
 -based manner. In this talk\, I will give an introduction to dynamic treat
 ment regimes\, focusing primarily on sequential multiple assignment random
 ized trials (SMARTs)\, the best means of obtaining high-quality data to de
 termine optimal treatment regimes\, and will present some new findings on 
 the purported benefits of such trials from a case study involving the Clin
 ical Antipsychotic Trials of Invervention Effectiveness (CATIE) Schizophre
 nia study.\n\nBio:\n\nErica Moodie is an Associate Professor of Biostatist
 ics in the Department of Epidemiology\, Biostatistics\, and Occupational H
 ealth at McGill University. Her main research interests are in causal infe
 rence and longitudinal data with a focus on dynamic treatment regimes. She
  is an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute\, an Asso
 ciate Editor of Biometrics and the Journal of the American Statistical Ass
 ociation. She is a William Dawson Scholar and currently holds a Chercheur-
 Boursier junior 2 career award from the Fonds de recherche du Quebec-Sante
