Building a Robust Plan to Support and Evaluate Intervention Adherence
Abstract: When testing or implementing an intervention, it is important to ensure that the intervention is delivered as intended (i.e. intervention adherence), with adherence is an important part of intervention fidelity. However, training alone is typically not sufficient to support intervention adherence, particularly when the intervention has multiple components or needs to be tailored to the client or patient. We cover tradeoffs and decision-making around adherence support needed post-training, considering balancing resources and intervention complexity. We also cover models for evaluating intervention adherence, considering the balance of efficiency (ease of use) and effectiveness (rigor).

Her research focuses on treatment effectiveness and implementation science, specifically for children and adolescents receiving care in low…

SHACS: Derek Houston, PhD - Input and Parent-Child Interaction Factors in the Development of Spoken Language in Children who are Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing
Most research on spoken language development in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing has, understandably, focused on auditory access and speech perception. However, speech perception accounts for less than 25% of variance in language outcomes. Like typically hearing children, language outcome of children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing depends on their ability to make meaning of the auditory input they receive during social interactions with caregivers. Four years ago, I proposed a conceptual framework that asserted that variability in outcomes depended on the total language input that is accessible, attended to, and coordinated with children’s attention during social interactions (Houston, 2022). In this talk, I will use this framework to organize findings from my lab and others toward a growing but far-from-complete understanding of how many input and parent-child interaction factors contribute to variability in language outcomes in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing.

Reimagining Nutrition Assistance: Future Directions for Food Security Policy
Speaker:
Katie Rains, director, Food Systems Initiatives, Washington State Department of Agriculture, This session is offered as part of the weekly series on: "Food and Nutrition Security: Understanding, Measuring and Reimagining Nutrition Assistance in the U.S." If you care about how food-related safety nets succeed—or fail—this seminar offers tools to understand today’s landscape and imagine a better one.
How is food and nutrition security defined, measured, and funded in the United States—and how do those choices shape real‑world hunger and health?
This seminar explores the nation’s major nutrition assistance programs—SNAP, WIC, school meals, and the charitable food system. Learn how these programs work, who they reach, and why their impacts vary across states and communities. All UW students, faculty, and staff are welcome to attend the seminar. Check MyPlan for location information.
