Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling
7/18/2024
11:00 am – 3:00 pm Eastern
Participants will understand the theory behind the structural equation modeling statistical framework, including concepts of model identification, estimation, and model fit. Participants will learn how to use Stata to fit a variety of structural equation models, including path analysis, mediation, and models with measurement components. Participants will learn how to evaluate health equity through measurement invariance and multiple-group analysis.

Methods for Addressing and Testing Model Assumptions and Guidelines for Reporting Results
8/9/2024
11:00 am-5:00 pm Eastern
The goal of the workshop is to describe statistical, methodological, and conceptual aspects of mediation analysis from a modern causal inference perspective. The one-day workshop consists of four parts. Part I covers definitions, history, and applications for the mediation model. The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of the research questions the mediation model can answer. Examples from mediation analysis in prevention and treatment research are described. In Part II, the conceptual model described in Part I is quantified in the estimation of mediation in single and multiple mediator models using modern causal inference methods. Estimation of mediation effects including assumptions, statistical tests, confidence intervals, and effect size are covered. The methods described in this section serve as the foundation for more advanced methods in Part III, which consists of mediation in more complicated models and methods to assess the sensitivity of results to model assumptions such as temporal bias, confounder bias, and selection bias. In Part IV, general practical and theoretical issues in the investigation of mediation are discussed, especially approaches to address violations of mediation model assumptions.

Peer Recovery Support Series: Infinite Pathways — Embracing Diverse Identities to Support Recovery
8/29/2024
12:00-1:30pm ET (11CT/10MT/9PT)
Though great work has been done to make more recovery pathways accessible, established pathways do not always embrace the full range of cultures, identities, and life experiences that people bring with them on their journey. The Infinite Pathways of Recovery concept does not start with a menu, but rather with an individual’s unique needs and strengths that they bring with them from their various experiences, identities, and cultures. We can help them build a tapestry of supports specific to them, creating a flexible, strong pathway that is as unique as they are and can grow and change with them as they progress throughout their recovery. This webinar will address how we can help individuals discover how their personal culture and strengths provide a foundation to build from to amplify their wellness, foster self-efficacy, and sustain their recovery wellness long-term.

Our theme this year is ‘Prevention in and with Communities’ and our keynotes and special sessions will focus on discussing the challenges and opportunities for prevention science when working in and with community settings and systems.
The goal of the conference is to connect research with practical needs of communities, discuss pros and cons of different approaches to prevention in and with community settings, as well as opportunities and challenges of developing, implementing and evaluating evidence-based community-level prevention programmes and systems. We also want to discuss how to support prevention workforce communities, create stronger links between research, education, and practice as well as raise the quality of education and training of prevention scientists and practitioners in Europe.
The conference will be mainly in person, but we will provide an option for delegates to participate online.
