Jesse Dallery, PhD, is a Principal Investigator with the Center for Technology and Health at the National Development and Research Institutes in New York City. He is also an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida, and a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Florida. Dr. Dallery received his PhD in Clinical Psychology at Emory University in 1999, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Behavioral Pharmacology. Dr. Dallery’s research involves translational research on nicotine and smoking in animal and human laboratories. His work also focuses on novel applications of Internet-based behavioral interventions for cigarette smoking. He has published over 30 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and he has received grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. He has conducted several studies suggesting that a novel, science-based intervention can promote smoking cessation. The treatment employs breath-based measures of smoking status, which also allows objective verification of treatment effects. In collaboration with colleagues, he is involved in extending the application to high-risk groups such as adolescents, pregnant women, and rural smokers. The intervention eliminates distance as a barrier, which should allow widespread dissemination of an effective behavioral intervention. The results also encourage the application of Internet-based technology to other health-related behavior. Currently, Dr. Dallery is conducting a randomized trial investigating the short-and long-term efficacy of the Internet-based treatment for cigarette smoking.

N2 - Information technology represents an excellent medium to deliver contingencies of reinforcement to change behavior. Recently, we have linked the Internet with a science-based, behavioral treatment for cigarette smoking: abstinence reinforcement therapy. Under abstinence reinforcement interventions, incentives are provided for objective evidence of abstinence. Several studies suggest that the intervention is effective in initiating abstinence. The intervention addresses limitations (access, cost, sustainability, and dissemination potential) inherent in traditional abstinence reinforcement delivery models. It can also be applied to vulnerable, at-risk populations, and to other behavior to promote health. Information technologies offer unprecedented and rapidly expanding opportunities to facilitate behavior change.
