A "SMART" Design for Building Individualized Treatment Sequences
Open accessAbstract
Interventions often involve a sequence of decisions. For example, clinicians frequently adapt the intervention to an individual's outcomes. Altering the intensity and type of intervention over time is crucial for many reasons, such as to obtain improvement if the individual is not responding or to reduce costs and burden when intensive treatment is no longer necessary. Adaptive interventions utilize individual variables (severity, preferences) to adapt the intervention and then dynamically utilize individual outcomes (response to treatment, adherence) to readapt the intervention. The Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) provides high-quality data that can be used to construct adaptive interventions. We review the SMART and highlight its advantages in constructing and revising adaptive interventions as compared to alternative experimental designs. Selected examples of SMART studies are described and compared. A data analysis method is provided and illustrated using data from the Extending Treatment Effectiveness of Naltrexone SMART study.

The paper relies on this without support.
The best intervention option for a patient varies with the values of the tailoring variables.
“The logic is that the best intervention option for patients varies according to different values of the tailoring variables.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Comorbid conditions require decisions about which disorder to treat first or whether to treat multiple disorders at once.
“A third reason for considering an adaptive intervention is the presence of, or evolving, comorbidities (e.g., comorbid HIV infection and substance use, depression and alcoholism). Comorbid conditions require decisions regarding which disorder should be treated first or whether multiple disorders should be treated simultaneously.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The high cost of intensive interventions, along with possible burden and side effects, justifies developing interventions that reduce intensity when possible.
“Fifth, the high cost of intensive interventions combined with possible burden and/or side effects motivate the development of interventions in which the intensity of the treatment is reduced when possible.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
