This course focuses on integrative, multi-method approaches for the use of self-report or
observational measures in conjunction with biological measures of a symptom (e.g., genetic,
inflammatory or neuroendocrine markers, electrophysiologic sensors; microbial sampling).
Participants will design and describe biobehavioral methods to achieve a more comprehensive,
multi-system understanding of a symptom or symptom clusters. Analytical strategies for
synthesizing two or more measures of a symptom will also be addressed.
