Purpose

The purpose of this video lecture is to give an overview of the Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trials (SMART) framework and how it can be useful in obesity research.

Meet the Guest Speaker

Dr. Donna L. Maney received her undergraduate degree in Biology from Cornell University and her PhD in Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of Washington. She then went on to complete postdoctoral fellowships at The Rockefeller University and Johns Hopkins University. She joined the Emory faculty in 2002.

Her lab is interested in hormonal and genetic influences on social behavior. She is also interested in sex differences in humans and how those differences impact education and public health. A major focus of Dr. Maney's work is to investigate how sex differences are tested for and reported in biomedical research. Dr. Maney also serves as a Councilor for the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD), a group that seeks to promote understanding of sex differences by facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations.
