“Medication Adherence in Hypertension: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial”

Saul Blecker, MD, MHS is an Associate Professor of Population Health and Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He is a general internal medicine physician and researcher focused on improving the quality of care and outcomes for patients with chronic disease. In his research, Dr. Blecker uses electronic health record (EHR) and other large clinical datasets to understand gaps in evidence-based care delivery. He utilizes findings from this data-driven work to guide the development and implementation of electronic tools to improve patient care. Additionally, he uses a combination of advanced analytics, implementation science and practice redesign to address patient adherence to evidence-based therapies.

Using an Experimental Medicine Approach to Design Behavioral Interventions for Older Adults Living Alone with Cognitive Decline: Guidance for Preparing Proposals to the ASU Roybal Center Webinar

Sep 18, 2025 11:00 AM MST

The ASU Roybal Center funds NIH Stage 0–IV behavioral trials focused on developing and testing technology-enabled lifestyle interventions for older adults living alone with cognitive decline. Funded trials apply a mechanism of behavior change (MoBC) approach to identify and test the specific processes or pathways through which interventions are expected influence behavior. This webinar will provide an overview of the Center’s funding priorities and offer guidance on preparing proposals and designing trials that align with the Center’s mission and scope.
