The focus of the Johns Hopkins ALACRITY Center is to translate evidence-based interventions to reduce premature mortality among consumers with serious mental illness (SMI) into community mental health settings in Maryland and Nationwide. This workshop series aims to highlight advanced quantitative methods and mixed methods to help answer important questions in mental health services research. Lecture 2: An Introduction to Systems Science and Agent-Based Modeling, is presented by Dr. Tak Igusa, Professor in the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Igusa is the ALACRITY Center Systems Science Project Lead. Lecture 2 includes: Section A: Systems Science and Agent-Based Modeling; Section B: Illustrative Examples; Section C: A Simple Agent-Based Model for Exploring Implementation Processes; Section D: Impacts of Measurement Uncertainty; Section E: Impacts of Networks.
