The SSC is hosting a workshop on Statistical Methods for Adaptive Treatment Strategies on Instats on February 24, 2025, taught by Professor Erica Moodie, SSC President and Professor of Biostatistics at McGill University. 

As healthcare moves toward more personalized approaches, adaptive treatment strategies represent a critical area of research. These strategies are complex, and require innovative methods that tailor treatments to individual patients based on their unique characteristics and responses. This workshop is specially designed for graduate students, academics, and professional researchers, and will include topics such as

 *   data sources used in the development of adaptive treatment strategies;
 *   single-stage analyses for Individualized Treatment Rules (ITR);
 *   multi-stage analyses and the principles behind adaptive treatment strategies;
 *   statistical challenges related to censored outcomes.

Discussion of implementation in R will be provided, but knowledge of this programming language is not required. Practical examples and case studies will also be given.

SSC members are invited to join InStats via their SSC profile to receive a 30% discount on this and other workshops.
