A little bit about me
Jared weaves the science of behavior change with Naturalistic Decision-Making which researches how individuals navigate choices in complex situations marked by uncertainty, high stakes, time pressure, and dynamic environments. Recognizing that generic interventions often overlook the subtleties of a situation, he emphasizes the importance of context as well as understanding both the strengths and weaknesses of intuition. Drawing upon this multi-disciplinary approach, Jared addresses diverse challenges, from enhancing the ability of apps to effect behavior change, to healthcare worker compliance, to training de-escalation strategies in law enforcement. Particular interests: expert intuition, complex decision making, healthcare provider behavior, behavior change apps and app engagement, international development Jared also has a soft spot in his heart for the Mayan populations in Mexico and Guatemala, with whom he has worked previously.
