Master Lecture: How should we produce the “right” evidence, as individuals and the field? Proposing the Decision-Focused Evidence Production Framework

Presenter: Eric Hekler, PhD, FSBM, University of California-San Diego
Moderator: Ellen Beckjord, MPH, PhD, FSBM

Just as the promise of just-in-time adaptive interventions is to provide the “right” type of support, at the “right” time, in the “right” context, for each person, there is a need for selecting the “right” research methods to align evidence production with the priorities of those using the evidence, their context, and their constraints. The purpose of this talk from Eric Hekler, PhD, FSBM, is to propose the decision-focused evidence production framework as an organizing structure to guide the production of evidence across the field of behavioral medicine research.
