Roybal Center for Therapeutic Optimization Using Behavioral Science

​

 

The Brigham and Women's Hospital Roybal Center for Therapeutic Optimization Using Behavioral Science aims to create a translational research program for the development of principle-driven, potent, practical, scalable, and sustainable behavioral interventions to enhance the appropriate prescribing and use of evidence-based medications.

​

Its structure and activities are based upon 3 key principles:

 

(1) a multi-disciplinary approach integrating collaborators with expertise in medication use, theory-based behavioral science, implementation research, and data science

 

(2) the testing of principle-driven interventions in real-world settings 

 

(3) the use of novel analytic methods and technological approaches to gain a deeper understanding of behavior and to facilitate the creation of interventions that are both personalized but applicable to population health improvement
