The 2025 Thomas R. Ten Have Symposium on Statistics in Mental Health
Details
The 12th Annual Thomas R. Ten Have Symposium on Statistics continues the annual Columbia-Cornell-NYU-Penn-Yale Symposium and is jointly sponsored by the five Universities and the Mental Health Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association. The idea for a forum on statistics in psychiatry arose in 1998 from informal discussions among Eva Petkova, Ray Carroll, and Tom Ten Have, when Eva visited Ray Carroll at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was a visiting faculty member. The first forum took place in 1999 at the New York State Psychiatric Institute as an informal joint forum with participating statisticians from Columbia University and University of Pennsylvania. Between 1999 and 2003 the forum location rotated between Columbia University and University of Pennsylvania, with each forum consisting of two one-hour presentations on statistics in psychiatry by a member from each school and then ample time for informal discussions before happy hour. In 2004, Yale University joined as the third participating institution. In 2007 New York University became the fourth participating site and the "forum" was renamed to "symposium" in acknowledgement of the growing size and outreach of the event. The symposium continued to expand with adding Cornell University as another participating institution.
In 2011, Thomas Ten Have passed away. To honor his founding role in the symposium and his many contributions to the field of statistics in psychiatry and the broader statistics profession, the symposium was renamed to “Tom R. Ten Have Symposium on Statistics in Psychiatry” (TTH Symposium). The 2012 symposium was the first renamed TTH Symposium, where it took place at the University of Pennsylvania and culminated in the Ten Have Memorial Lecture given by Professor C. Hendricks Brown. In 2013, the Mental Health Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association and the TTH organizers from the participating universities agreed to jointly sponsor the 2014 event that took place at Yale University on May 29th and May 30th, 2014. Since 2014, the MHSS has jointly sponsored the TTH Symposium, including the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine serving as an additional hosting site in 2018 and McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School serving as an additional hosting site in 2023.

Keynote address abstract:
Kelley Kidwell, PhD, University of Michigan
SMARTer Trials: Integrating Patient Treatment Preferences for Pragmatic Multi-Stage Trial Design & Analyses
In this talk, we present recent statistical developments for partially randomized, patient preference designs within the framework of Sequential, Multiple Assignment, Randomized Trials (SMARTs). These designs accommodate individuals with strong treatment preferences by allowing them to receive their preferred treatment, while those without a preference are randomized across two critical decision points over the course of care. We propose methods to leverage data from both groups, enhancing the efficiency of dynamic treatment regimen estimation. This approach is particularly valuable in chronic disease management, where treatment options differ in modality and patients often have prior treatment histories. I will illustrate these methods with case studies in chronic pain and depression treatment, highlighting their potential to inform patient-centered care.
