Using Mobile Technology and AI to Reduce Alcohol Use Consequences

Alison Haney, assistant professor in the Department of Community Health and Health Behavior, will share her research that examines how dynamic, health-relevant processes are measured in daily life to identify targets for mobile health interventions. She uses quantitative methods and ambulatory technology to increase the precision with which we can measure affect and substance use outside of the laboratory, examine how affective and other consequences of substance use vary within and across contexts and sociocultural groups, and how we can leverage this information to develop scalable, mobile interventions aimed at supporting healthy decision-making around substance use and related behaviors.
