NYU OT Scholar Series: Dr. Stacey L. Schepens Niemiec

Stacey L. Schepens Niemiec, PhD, OTR/L, DipACLM is Associate Professor of Research at the University of Southern California Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy. In this presentation, Dr. Schepens Niemiec will overview two approaches to intervention development: the NIH Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development and the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework. She will situate her own gerontechnological intervention research within these approaches to demonstrate how the various stages of systematic intervention development can unfold as research teams strive toward implementing effective and sustainable programs that aim to improve the health and quality of life of the community.
