Arthur Stone, Ph.D.
– Senior Scientific Consultant 
After completing his doctoral work in clinical psychology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1978, Dr. Stone joined the Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology in the medical school at Stony Brook. He is currently a Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Director of the Applied Behavioral Medicine Research Institute at the medical school. His early work was concerned with the daily measurement of stress and coping, and their linkages to somatic symptoms and immune function. His more recent interests focus on an even finer-grained understanding of the interplay between environmental influences and physiological processes, especially the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. He has been involved with the development of Ecological Momentary Assessment, a technique for intensively monitoring individuals in their natural environments. His interests in self-report research led to him chairing a National Institutes of Health Conference called the “Science of self-report: Implications for Researchers and Clinicians.”

Webinar Replay – Patient Noncompliance with Paper Diaries: Paper vs. Electronic Diary Methods
This webinar will review the rationale for trial participants recording assessments of their treatment-related experiences on a daily basis and what the clinical concerns are regarding the use of paper diaries. Dr. Stone will present information from his pivotal research on subject compliance with paper and electronic diaries, in which he conclusively demonstrates a significant degree of subject hoarding with paper diaries (British Medical Journal, 2002). He will then provide an update on the clinical development community’s reaction to these findings and how researchers are now approaching the collection of patient data in their efforts to evaluate the efficacy of new medical treatments.
