Behavioral Science Task Force Roster
The Behavioral Science Task Force closely partners with funded studies to provide support and guidance on behavioral science aspects, review study protocols to ensure effective integration of behavioral science and consumer marketing principles and develop a framework to enhance engagement and adherence in FIM interventions. They also participate in developing a webinar series on behavioral science engagement strategies and marketing approaches, compiling the content into a handbook for FIM researchers, and create checklists for each touchpoint, including a customized protocol review form for the task force.

Common Measures for AHA Health Care by Food Funded Studies
Central to the American Heart Association's Health Care by Food initiative is the integration of evidence-based practices and measurable outcomes. To track progress and impact, the initiative developed a set of Common Measures, a standardized set of metrics designed to facilitate the comparison of data across food is medicine research.
Shared metrics are vital for pooling data across studies, to produce more generalizable insights and to allow for more comparability between studies, moving us toward a better understanding of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions.
To improve fidelity for merging data sets and facilitating use of the common measures, an accompanying code book (XLSX file) was designed and is available for use.
