OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This presentation will introduce the multiphase optimization trial (MOST), an engineering-inspired framework for developing, optimizing, and evaluating multicomponent behavioral, biobehavioral, and biomedical interventions. Optimization is the process of identifying an intervention that attains the best expected outcomes given key constraints imposed by the need for affordability, scalability, and/or efficiency. The presentation will provide an overview of the application of MOST to a number of public health priorities and offer a vision for the future of intervention science.
