SUMMARY:RARC Digital Health Workgroup: Susan Luczak\, PhD (University of Southern California)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next RARC Digital Health Workgroup featuring Susan Luczak\, Ph.D.\, Research Professor of Psychology at the University of Southern California (USC). Dr. Luczak’s research focuses on understanding alcohol use and related problems across the lifespan\, with an emphasis on real-time assessment and measurement. Her work integrates mobile health technologies and biosensors to capture drinking behavior and quantify alcohol levels in the body. In this talk\, she will discuss the strengths and limitations of real-time methods\, including biosensor approaches\, and highlight the types of research questions these tools can address. She will also share examples of transdermal alcohol and other biosensor data\, and provide insight into efforts to translate these data into estimates of blood alcohol concentration (BrAC)\, along with future directions for this line of research.\n\nDate: Monday\, May 4\, 2026\nTime: 2:00-3:00 PM\nZoom Meeting: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/95849976985?pwd=c8de2nMjiQVDjlNMxA0TUa545rZql9.1\nMeeting ID: 958 4997 6985\nPasscode: 322413
