Ideas for improving listserv

 * 1) Create a list: Name, email, current projects
 * 2) When preparing talks, compile symposiums. SIG members could submit talks, and the SIG can compile symposiums and submit.
 * 3) Sending around information, job offers, etc
 * 4) Organizing ABCT bipolar SIG at ISBD

Problem #1: Mood networks

 * Changes in mood networks predicting the catastrophic shifts in bipolar disorder
 * Problems are with people getting involved, primary referral are from clinicians

Solutions

 * Video conferencing consenting
 * Keeping assessments truncated - the shorter the better
 * Have different assessments at different time points, longer people
 * Keep people interested by mailing them, so that they don't lose address
 * Ask about things, "e.g., how was your pet dog from xx time ago"
 * Automated consent forms
 * Going to participants to ask them in the waiting room
 * First contacts should be well-trained, and better able to deal with dysregulated individuals

Online versus in-person

 * Retention becomes more difficult when you go online
 * Making it fun
 * Calling in makes it difficult when people need to come back for follow-ups
 * When technology is used (e.g., Fitbits), it is more difficult

Solutions

 * Incentive-based system if people don't come back
 * Paying incentives based on number of completed trials (e.g., $0.01 per completed task, up to $50)
 * Earning Amazon gift cards
 * Progressive reinforcement -- Uber system?
 * Accounting for inflation (people get paid more over time)

Ethical issues

 * When does it become unethical?
 * Discussed reinforcement for clinicians, paying extra -- not ethical

Online recruitment

 * How do you give online recruitment consent?

Idea

 * Add matrix for assessment for bipolar disorder
