Developed by RTI International and funded by the NC TraCS Inclusive Science Program, Semblie is an online platform that allows users to build, deliver, and track web-based interventions without the need for a developer or graphic artist.

Following up on an earlier 3-part series that provided a general overview of Semblie, this webinar will further illustrate the platform’s capabilities using a COVID-related digital health intervention as an example. The intervention will be used to highlight some of Semblie’s key features, giving viewers a more complete picture of how Semblie can be used to create digital health interventions and inspiration for their own projects.

The World Health Organization defines health inequities as differences in health status and distribution of health resources across different population groups that arise from the social conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age. COVID-19 and protests for racial equity and social justice are spotlighting our nation’s longstanding health inequities and sparking renewed efforts to address systemic racism and structural barriers to health equity.

Implementation science research frameworks and methods are well suited for identifying what works to redress health inequities. Join RTI for a virtual discussion with Ana Baumann, Eva Woodward, Lori Carter-Edwards, Pastor James Gailliard, Cory Bradley, and Sara Jacobs on the intersection of implementation science and health equity.

This event is sponsored by the Consortium for Implementation Science, a joint endeavor of UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and RTI International.

The purpose of this online, 2-day course is to give an overview of structural equation models (SEMs). It is not an introduction to SEM software, but focuses more on the conceptual aspects of SEMs. It provides a brief description of the major types of SEMs and the steps involved in modeling. A few hypothetical and empirical examples are included.

Participants should have a thorough understanding of regression analysis and a basic understanding of matrices.

Foundations of Biomedical Data Science Virtual Seminar Series - Data Structure, Disease Risk, GXE, and Causal Modeling

Human disease is mainly due to complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors (GXE). Researchers need to acquire the right "smart" data types—coherent and multiplicative data—required to make accurate predictions about risk and outcome for n = 1 individuals—a daunting task.

Robert Williams, PhD and his team has developed large families of fully sequenced mice that mirror the genetic complexity of humans. They are using these reference populations to generate multiplicatively useful data and to build and test causal quantitative models of disease mechanisms with a special focus on diseases of aging, addiction, and neurological and psychiatric disease.
