Webinar: Evaluating Synergies in Multilevel Interventions: Mental Health in Schools as an Exemplar

Posted |

Date and time: October 18, 2024, 2:00 pm ET

This webinar presents a study design and corresponding analytic methods that enable a more nuanced understanding of the potential synergy occurring between intervention components of a hypothetical multilevel intervention promoting mental health in school systems. 

Multilevel interventions are essential for addressing complex societal challenges, such as systemic racism in educational institutions, but they present unique evaluation challenges. These interventions inherently operate across multiple levels of influence, such as schools and families, with components that often interact. Traditional study designs typically assess these interventions as a package, making it difficult to disentangle and understand the synergistic effects of the individual components.
