Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits, Solutions, and Strategies (March 18, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/45202 45202-11484676@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 18, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. Since the invention of the light bulb, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors, prioritizing work, school, socializing, sports, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible, something that can be made up at any time, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately, they could not be more wrong.

The truth is, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes, reduces productivity, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD, depression, heart attack, stroke, arrhythmia, heart failure, and early death.

This Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works, why it is important, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community.

Economic Development Seminar: How does the efficiency of skilled labor vary across rich and poor countries? An analysis using industry and trade data (March 22, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50482 50482-11779665@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 22, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Department of Economics

This paper estimates the relative efficiency of skilled and unskilled workers across countries using a new method that relies on disaggregated industry and trade data. I document that the share of exports in skill-intensive industries rises sharply with income levels. Interpreted through the lens of a gravity model, this pattern suggests that rich countries have low relative unit production costs in skill-intensive industries. For standard trade elasticities, the implied differences in the effective costs of skilled labor services across countries cannot be rationalized by differences in the skilled wage premia, which leads me to infer that skilled labor is relatively efficient in rich countries compared to in poor countries. Integrating these findings into a development accounting exercise for the manufacturing sector, I find that accounting for skill-specific efficiency differences reduces the size of skill-neutral labor efficiency differences: the difference in skill-neutral TFP differences between rich and poor countries in manufacturing falls from a factor of 4.3 to a factor of 2.6.

As CNN’s medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, M.D. has covered many disasters, medical discoveries, epidemics and catastrophes – enough to see the crucial role of effective and timely communication of health information.

On March 23-25, he and his wife Rebecca will team up with U-M to host an innovation event aimed at generating new ideas and tools to improve health communication.

The marathon weekend event, called the Gupta Family Hackathon, will include more than 200 students and professionals from the worlds of health, digital technology, design, communication and information science. Teams will form, work over the weekend, and present their prototypes for judging, competing for a chance to develop their ideas further with the help of U-M mentors.

The application to participate opens this month, and applicants will be selected on a rolling basis until March 1. There is no cost to participate, and food and team working space will be provided.

Organized by the U-M Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, the event is co-supported by a gift from the Guptas and by Michigan Medicine, U-M’s academic medical center.

Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation

As CNN’s medical correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, M.D. has covered many disasters, medical discoveries, epidemics and catastrophes – enough to see the crucial role of effective and timely communication of health information.

On March 23-25, he and his wife Rebecca will team up with U-M to host an innovation event aimed at generating new ideas and tools to improve health communication.

The marathon weekend event, called the Gupta Family Hackathon, will include more than 200 students and professionals from the worlds of health, digital technology, design, communication and information science. Teams will form, work over the weekend, and present their prototypes for judging, competing for a chance to develop their ideas further with the help of U-M mentors.

The application to participate opens this month, and applicants will be selected on a rolling basis until March 1. There is no cost to participate, and food and team working space will be provided.

Organized by the U-M Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, the event is co-supported by a gift from the Guptas and by Michigan Medicine, U-M’s academic medical center.

Teach Out Series: Sleep Deprivation: Habits, Solutions, and Strategies (March 25, 2018 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/45202 45202-11484683@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 25, 2018 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Academic Innovation

Sleep deprivation is a silent epidemic. Since the invention of the light bulb, we have obtained less sleep than our ancestors, prioritizing work, school, socializing, sports, screen time – just about everything – over sleep. Sleep is viewed as compressible, something that can be made up at any time, but rarely is. Most believe this poses little risk. Unfortunately, they could not be more wrong.

The truth is, an adequate amount of good-quality sleep is critical to good health. Lack of sleep leads to deadly crashes, reduces productivity, and harms quality of life. Insufficient or disordered sleep can increase risk for ADHD, depression, heart attack, stroke, arrhythmia, heart failure, and early death.

This Teach-Out can be your first step in doing something about sleep deprivation. Learn how sleep works, why it is important, and what bad sleep habits are. Hear solutions you can start tonight to sleep better for the rest of your life. Understand strategies to help family and friends improve their sleep. Learn to advocate for the sleep health of your community. This Teach-Out is intended to connect learners worldwide to the University of Michigan in conversation around sleep deprivation.

A Teach-Out is:

-an event – it takes place over a fixed, short period of time

-an opportunity – it is open for free participation to everyone around the world

-a community – it will be joined by a large number of diverse individuals

-a conversation – an opportunity to give and take ideas and information from people

The University of Michigan Teach-Out Series provides just-in-time community learning events for participants around the world to come together in conversation with the U-M campus community, including faculty experts. The U-M Teach-Out Series is part of our deep commitment to engage the public in exploring and understanding the problems, events, and phenomena most important to society.

Teach-Outs are short learning experiences, each focused on a specific current issue. Attendees will come together over a few days not only to learn about a subject or event but also to gain skills. Teach-Outs are open to the world and are designed to bring together individuals with wide-ranging perspectives in respectful and deep conversation. These events are an opportunity for diverse learners and a multitude of experts to come together to ask questions of one another and explore new solutions to the pressing concerns of our global community. Come, join the conversation!

Joanne Murabito, MD, ScM presents "Genetics of Menopause Timing: Findings from ReproGen Consortium" (April 3, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/51282 51282-12032778@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 3, 2018 12:00pm
Location: School of Public Health Bldg I and Crossroads and Tower
Organized By: Center for Midlife Science

Abstract: The timing of reproductive aging events including age at natural menopause (ANM) is associated with a range of impactful health conditions later in life that extend beyond reproductive health to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and overall mortality. ANM is also associated with epigenetic age and may be a useful phenotype to unravel mechanistic insights into aging. Within the ReproGen consortium, we conducted genetic association studies and identified genetic loci for ANM including a common variant in BRCA1, variants in/near genes associated with delayed puberty, and enrichment in genes in the DNA damage response pathway. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) followed by Mendelian randomization analyses to assess causal influences on later life outcomes will further our understanding of how reproductive traits impact the overall health of women.
About Dr. Murabito: Dr. Murabito is Director of the Clinic at the Framingham Heart Study and she is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. Her research interests include the epidemiology and genetics of longevity, healthy aging, reproductive aging and peripheral artery disease. Dr. Murabito is a member of the Genetics of Longevity Consortium and the ReproGen Consortium.

Abstract:

The failure to align the incentives of conflictual groups in favor of peaceful coexistence and beneficial reforms is often seen as a major cause of persistent underdevelopment around the world. However, much less is known about strategies that have been successful at overcoming such political economy challenges. One approach that holds much promise, and in fact appears to have had some historical success, is the provision of financial assets that align the interests of winners and potential losers from reform by providing claims on the future.

This project analyzes the promise and limitations of financial instruments as a means for fostering broad political coalitions that favor peace and beneficial reforms. It takes as a departure point the benchmark theory of portfolio choice, in which all agents hold the same (market) portfolio of risky assets. This may also align political incentives, as all individuals can gain from policies that improve the returns or lower the risks of the market portfolio, including risks stemming from political instability and conflict. The project then analyzes a range of historical cases in which the introduction of financial assets have succeeded or failed at making politics less conflictual over time, focusing on three revolutionary states that subsequently led the world in economic growth: England, the early United States and Meiji Japan. Next the project exploits a field experiments to test whether financial mechanisms can help raise support for peace in contemporary settings, beginning with the case of Israel. Finally, the project draws upon the theory, the historical cases and the field experiments to assess the promise and limitations of financial approaches in solving political economy challenges more generally.

Changing Cleavages and Coalitions in American Politics 1972-2016: The Rise of Polarization and Populism (April 12, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50610 50610-11816523@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, April 12, 2018 4:00pm

What are the dimensions of political contestation in American politics today?  How has party-sorting and party activism contributed to political polarization and populism?  

During the 1950’s and 1960’s, American politics reflected the difference between the Democratic and Republican parties on economic issues (the “New Deal” cleavage) with an overlay, mostly within the Democratic Party, of differences on race (the “North-South” cleavage).  A mini-realignment among African American voters started in the 1930s in the northern cities, and it was accelerated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which extended the realignment to the countryside and the South so that African Americans switched to the Democrats from the Party of Lincoln and Southern whites switched to the Republican Party. The between-party New Deal economic policy cleavage was highly correlated with income, occupation, and union membership. Religion did not play a major role in American politics as white evangelicals had few overtly political interests, and they identified with both the Republican and Democratic parties. 

Starting in the 1970s with the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade (1973) decision and with the playing out of the consequences of the Civil Rights Acts of the mid 1960s, a two-dimensional cleavage structure arose comprising the traditional New Deal economic cleavage based upon income and occupation and a new social issues cleavage between the parties based upon religious attendance and moral conservatism. Although African Americans voted reliably for Democrats and many whites in the south began to vote for Republicans, the racial cleavage seemed largely submerged beneath the economic and social issues dimensions. Unlike economic policy where budgetary compromises were possible, concerns with social issues such as abortion, prayer in the schools, and gay rights presented problems where compromise was very difficult if not impossible.  In addition, conservatives sorted into the Republican Party and liberals into the Democratic Party. The result was an increasingly polarized politics.

Has this structure changed once again?   Are we now witnessing the emergence of a new dimension in American politics based upon xenophobia, racism, and nationalist sentiments? Was this dimension always there but obscured by other issues such as economics and moral conservatism? How does this dimension relate to the New Deal dimension and to social issues? How does it relate to America's long-term struggle with its legacy of slavery?

Using American National Election Studies and other data from the 1970s and earlier, this talk examines spatial diagrams over time to map out the changing coalitional structure of the parties, to investigate the possible emergence of a new xenophobic dimension, and to better understand populism and polarization in American politics.

Organized By: The Center for the Study of Complex Systems

Abstract:

Smoking and mental illness are leading contributors to mortality and morbidity in the U.S. They are also significantly associated with each other, with substantially higher rates of smoking among people with mental illness compared to the general population. Depression in particular is a commonly occurring mental disorder. Research shows that comorbidity of smoking and depression are subject to feedback effects, as depression is known to predict future smoking, while smoking also predicts future depression. To date, there has been little evidence on the health gains associated with interrupting this dynamic through interventions that target patients with depression. If implemented, cessation treatment for smokers with depression could lead to even greater improvements to population health. However the population benefit of integrating cessation treatment into mental health care has not yet been estimated. I develop the first joint model of smoking and depression co-morbidity in the US, projecting future patterns of smoking and depression through 2050.This model can analyze the independent and synergistic effects of intervention strategies on smoking, depression, and mortality outcomes.

Medicaid expansion is much in the news these days, in Michigan and beyond.

Researchers from the U-M Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation are at the forefront of studying the impacts of expanding Medicaid to all low-income adults under the Affordable Care Act. An IHPI team holds the state contract to carry out the official evaluation of Michigan's expansion program, called the Healthy Michigan Plan, which now covers more than 650,000 Michiganders. Other IHPI members study other aspects of the issue.

This talk, presented as part of the Frontier Seminar series organized by Michigan Medicine's Chief Scientific Officer, will focus on the economic and health effects of the Medicaid expansion in Michigan. The talk will feature Renu Tipirneni, Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine, and Sarah Miller, Assistant Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy. John Z. Ayanian, IHPI director and leader of the Healthy Michigan Plan evaluation, will serve as moderator.

The seminar will be held from 4–5 pm in the Ford Auditorium at the University Hospital. The fast-paced hour will include two 20-minute presentations followed by 20 minutes of interaction between the two speakers, Dr. Ayanian, and the audience. Informal discussion will follow at a reception.

Improving Intracortical Microelectrode Interface Utilizing Nano-Architecture (September 13, 2018 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/54258 54258-13563460@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 13, 2018 9:00am
Location: Chrysler Center
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

Abstract: Intracortical microelectrodes provide a means to both treat and understand diseases and injuries of the nervous systems. A major hurdle to the clinical deployment of microelectrode technologies is recording instability caused by the neuroinflammatory response and lack of integration with the native tissue. The neuroinflammatory response observed after device implantation has been linked to oxidative stress that occurs due to neurological injury and disease. It is important to improve the understanding of the neuroinflammatory and oxidative stress response in order to develop next generation electrodes and treatment strategies. A potential strategy to mitigate this response involves understanding the disparity in architecture between the in vivo environment and commercially available intracortical microelectrodes. The smooth surface structure of intracortical microelectrodes implanted within the nanometer-scale architecture of brain tissue may contribute to the foreign body response. The factors examined in Dr. Ereifej’s work and how they are utilized to inform the future design of compatible intracortical microelectrodes will be discussed.

The Enigmatic KIME: Time Complexity in Data Science (September 21, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54407 54407-13581110@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, September 21, 2018 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: We will provide a constructive definition of “Big Biomedical/Health Data” and provide examples of the challenges, algorithms, processes, and tools necessary to manage, aggregate, harmonize, process, and interpret such data. In data science, time complexity frequently manifests as sampling incongruency, heterogeneous scales, and intricate dependencies. We will present the concept of 2D complex-time (kime) and illustrate how the kime-order (time) and kime-direction (phase) affect advanced predictive analytics and scientific inference based on Big Biomedical Data. Kime-representation solves the unidirectional arrows of time problems, e.g., psychological arrow of time reflects the irrevocable past to future flow and thermodynamic arrow of time reflecting the relentless growth of entropy. Albeit kime-phase angles may not always be directly observable, we will illustrate how they can be estimated and used to improve the resulting space-kime modeling, trend forecasting, and predictive data analytics. Simulated data, clinical observations (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders), and multisource census-like datasets (e.g., UK Biobank) will be used to demonstrate time-complexity and inferential-uncertainty.

His research examines the epidemiology and characteristics of firearm violence among urban youth and minority populations.

Frederick Rivara, MD: Dr. Rivara has worked in the area of violence and injury control for the last 30 years, with many studies focused in the area of firearm injury prevention. He was instrumental in studies demonstrating the correlation between safe storage of firearms and lower rates of unintentional injury. Dr. Rivara has published analyses examining the barriers to safe storage counseling among healthcare providers and has evaluated both community and health care setting based safe storage interventions. As the founding director of the Harborview Injury and Research Center, he has an extensive history of conducting research related to the primary prevention of pediatric injuries, youth violence, the epidemiology of firearm injuries, and injured pediatric patients.

April Zeoli, PhD: Dr Zeoli is the primary investigator on research to analyze the strength of legal firearm restrictions for perpetrators of domestic violence and their impact on intimate partner homicide. She studies the implementation of domestic violence firearm laws in selected communities, and has received attention for her interdisciplinary research applying an infectious disease model to the spread of homicide in Newark, New Jersey.

Charlie Branas, PhD: Dr. Branas is the chair of the department of Epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health.

Policy Change as Political Strategy: America’s Health Reform Mosaics in Comparative Perspective (October 24, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53259 53259-13323771@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 24, 2018 11:30am

Free and open to the public. Pizza lunch provided.

Professor Tuohy will speak about her new book, Remaking Policy: Scale, Pace and Political Strategy in Health Care Reform (University of Toronto Press 2018). The book presents a new theoretical framework for addressing perennial questions about the drivers of policy change. It argues that the scale and pace of major policy change - change that alters the balance of power, the methods of control or the organizing principles of a policy arena – are fundamentally driven by political calculations at the centre of government, as political actors assess their ability to overcome vetoes not only in the present but also over time. The book develops this argument by drawing on ten cases of health policy change across seven decades (1945-2017) and four nations (the United States, Britain, the Netherlands and Canada). In her talk Prof. Tuohy will pay particular attention to the American cases, showing why the US is especially prone to “mosaic” bursts of simultaneous small-scale changes, and why both “big-bang” (large scale, fast paced) and “blueprint” (large scale, slow paced) strategies have proved elusive.


Carolyn Tuohy specializes in comparative public policy, particularly social policy. She holds a B.A. from the University of Toronto, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University. In addition to Remaking Policy, her publications include Accidental Logics: the Dynamics of Change in the Health Care Arena in the United States, Britain and Canada (Oxford University Press 1999) and Policy and Politics in Canada: Institutionalized Ambivalence (Temple University Press 1992), a treatment of Canadian public policy in comparative perspective. She is the co-editor of Exploring Social Insurance: Can a Dose of Europe Cure Canadian Health Care Finance? (McGill-Queen’s University Press 2008) and Taking Public Universities Seriously (University of Toronto Press 2005).
In addition she is the author of numerous journal articles and book chapters in the areas of health and social policy, professional regulation, and comparative approaches in public policy, and is frequently consulted by government and related agencies on public policy matters. From 1992-2005 she held a number of senior administrative positions at the University of Toronto, including Deputy Provost and Vice-President, Government and Institutional Relations. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

The annual U.S. market for prescription drugs is more than $500 billion, representing almost 17% of all health care expenditures, and it is rising at an unsustainable rate. In 2017, the average American spent $1,100 per year on medications. It is, therefore, no wonder that the public and elected officials are fixated on understanding the factors leading to high prices and forging workable policy solutions. Dr. Sean Sullivan, a health economist and expert on drug pricing, will discuss the many reasons why prescription drugs cost so much in the US and the options to address the problem.

Military Support Programs and Networks (M-SPAN) is a portfolio of initiatives within the University of Michigan Depression Center and Department of Psychiatry dedicated to military and veteran mental health and wellness. M-SPAN integrates innovative approaches to outreach, overcoming stigma, and decreasing isolation, and includes the design and delivery of programs for service members, veterans and military families. Each flagship program was developed in response to identified gaps in services, and includes evidence-based approaches that have been tailored for specific populations. A rigorous program evaluation is integral to each initiative. Programs are incubated and evaluated at the University of Michigan, and disseminated through our partners to maximize impact. This session will cover the various M-SPAN programs serving veterans and their families, right here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and how service members, veterans, spouses and partners can get involved with each one.

Please join the Michigan Medicine Department of Psychiatry for the 23rd Annual Waggoner Lecture on Ethics & Values in Medicine. The title of this year’s talk is “Physicians, Public Speech and Politics.” It will be presented by Dr. Rebecca Weintraub Brendel, M.D., J.D. on Wednesday, November 7 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. in Ford Auditorium at University Hospital.

Weintraub Brendel is the director of the master’s degree program at the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics. She bases her clinical work in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) where she is the director of Law and Ethics at the Center for Law, Brain, and Behavior; provides medical oversight for the hospital’s inpatient guardianship team; and practices clinical and forensic psychiatry.

Dr. Brendel’s clinical practice has focused on patients with complex psychosocial problems, including trauma, dementia, mental illness, homelessness, substance abuse, decisional incapacity, lack of community support, and poverty. This broad work has informed her educational efforts and research interests focusing on issues at the interface of psychiatry, medicine, law, ethics, and human rights. She is an avid teacher and lecturer in both medical and legal settings.

Dr. Brendel graduated from both University of Chicago Law School and Pritzker School of Medicine. She completed her psychiatry residency at MGH and McLean Hospital and a forensic psychiatry fellowship at MGH. From 2006 – 2007, Dr. Brendel was the Edmond J. Safra Faculty Fellow in Ethics at Harvard University.

“We are delighted to welcome Dr. Brendel to our campus in November for this esteemed lectureship,” said Debra Pinals, M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry and director of the Program in Psychiatry, Law and Ethics at U-M. “Dr. Brendel brings a depth of knowledge to the field of psychiatry and ethics, and will be speaking on a timely topic related to physicians, politics and public speech. She is well suited to speak to the delicate intersection of these areas of focus from the perspective of a mental health and legal professional.”

The University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry established the Raymond W. Waggoner Lectureship on Ethics and Values in Medicine in 1996. This lectureship was created in honor of the late Dr. Waggoner, emeritus professor and past chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, who throughout his career and to all who knew him, exemplified the highest standards of integrity and ethics.

The esteemed lectureship is an annual event to recognize Dr. Waggoner’s enormous contributions to the Michigan Medicine medical center and to the profession, and to promulgate his interest in medical ethics.

Distinguished University Professor Lecture, Presented by Dr. Gordon L. Amidon (November 14, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57490 57490-14202428@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 14, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: U-M College of Pharmacy

Does the much-maligned carbon dioxide, a driving force behind global warming, deserve its bad rap?

In his upcoming Distinguished University Professor lecture, Gordon L. Amidon, PhD’71, will explore carbon dioxide from many angles, “the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.”

The talk will take place at 4 p.m. on November 14 in the Rackham Amphitheatre. The lecture and reception that follows are free and open to the public.

Prof. Gordon L. Amidon is the William I. Higuchi Distinguished University Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His research aims to understand the gastrointestinal factors that control drug absorption from an oral drug product.

“I will present a modest attempt to resurrect the image of carbon dioxide,” explains Amidon. “While global warming and the role that atmospheric gases play in the ‘green house’ effect has received considerable attention in the scientific and public press, I will point to the more positive role of carbon dioxide in evolution and in biology.”

Distinguished University Professorships recognize exceptional scholarly and/or creative achievements, national and international reputation, superior teaching and mentoring, and an impressive record of service. Each Professor delivers a lecture of their choosing during this event.

Reliable Evidence from Health Care Data: Lessons from the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) Collaborative (November 16, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57308 57308-14148805@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 16, 2018 4:00pm
Location: West Hall
Organized By: Michigan Institute for Data Science

Abstract: Concerns over reproducibility in science extend to research using existing healthcare data; many observational studies investigating the same topic produce conflicting results, even when using the same data. To address this problem, we propose a paradigm shift. The current paradigm centers on generating one estimate at a time using a unique study design with unknown reliability and publishing (or not) one estimate at a time. The new paradigm advocates for high-throughput observational studies using consistent and standardized methods, allowing evaluation, calibration, and unbiased dissemination to generate a more reliable and complete evidence base. We demonstrate this new paradigm by comparing all depression treatments for a set of outcomes, producing 17,718 hazard ratios, each using methodology on par with state-of-the-art studies. We furthermore include control hypotheses to evaluate and calibrate our evidence generation process. Results show good transitivity and consistency between databases, and agree with four out of the five findings from clinical trials. The distribution of effect size estimates reported in literature reveals an absence of small or null effects, with a sharp cutoff at p = 0.05. No such phenomena were observed in our results, suggesting more complete and more reliable evidence.

Medicine in the 21st century is being increasingly influenced by two concepts: Precision Medicine and the Learning Healthcare System. To broadly realize the promise of precision medicine (and health), it is necessary to use frameworks of implementation science grounded in the philosophy of the learning healthcare system to achieve robust implementation and value. This presentation will describe the implementation of a precision health program in an integrated healthcare delivery system aspiring to become a learning healthcare system. It will include early outcomes for the CDC Tier 1 genomic medicine conditions that identify significant care gaps and opportunities for improvement.

STS Speaker. The Sentimental Body: Medical Humanitarianism and the Late Colonial Public in Indonesia (December 3, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/54574 54574-13601152@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, December 3, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

This talk examines the role of medical humanitarianism in formations and fantasies of the native public in late colonial Indonesia. It looks at a particular institution that stood at the vanguard of humanitarian care in the late colonial period: the missionary clinic. Missionary medical care proved to be a rallying point among Dutch colonial and metropolitan citizens who praised it as a form of humanitarian care and colonial benevolence. In recognizing this celebration of medical humanitarianism as a response to growing anxieties over the nature and direction of the native mass public, this talk pursues a set of interrelated questions: How and why did missionary clinics and hospitals gain such broad colonial appeal? And what sort of native biological, political, and expressive bodies and publics did humanitarian care promise to create? In exploring these questions, this talk will place medicine, care, the native body, and the native public more centrally in our understanding of the politics and ethics of the self-proclaimed Ethical (Ethische) Period of Dutch colonialism (1900-1942) in Indonesia. It will then end by briefly considering Muslim responses to missionary humanitarian care starting in the 1920s.

Biosketch: Kevin Ko is a postdoctoral scholar in the Michigan Society of Fellows and an assistant professor in the Department of History. He specializes in modern Southeast Asian history with particular interests in medicine, religion, the body, and the public sphere in late colonial Indonesia. He is at work on a book project that examines the role of health, medicine, and the body in Christian and Muslim reform movements in late colonial Indonesia.

Join us as we celebrate our 200th Adderley Positive Research Incubator presentation!

Research is the heart of Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS), and we want to make sure that we support each other in developing high quality research. To that end, we created the Adderley Positive Research Incubator for sharing and encouraging POS-related research ideas that are at various stages of development.

Since our first gathering in 2004, the Adderley Positive Research Incubator has enabled 120+ researchers in the field of Positive Organizational Scholarship to share research ideas while still in development. This safe space encourages the development of high-quality research and allows for positive, constructive feedback on projects still in progress.

About the talk
This presentation will provide an overview of survey data and intervention research by the Healthy Minds Network, a large-scale research initiative to improve understanding of mental health and help-seeking in adolescent and young adult populations, particularly college students.

About Eisenberg
Daniel Eisenberg is S. J. Axelrod Collegiate Professor of Health Management and Policy in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan, where he is also affiliated with the Population Studies Center and the Comprehensive Depression Center.

His training is in economics and mental health services research. His broad research goal is to improve understanding of how to invest effectively in the mental health of young people, particularly college students. He directs the Healthy Minds Network (HMN) for Research on Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health (www.healthymindsnetwork.org), which administers the Healthy Minds Study, a national survey study of student mental health and related factors.

Mobilizing Biomedical Computable Knowledge (January 15, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58944 58944-14601181@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 15, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

We stand on the brink of the new knowledge revolution.

As the quantity of knowledge has exploded exponentially, the current means for representing knowledge—words and pictures that must be interpreted by humans—have reached their limits. Our ability to use the ever-growing body of scientific, biomedical knowledge rests on efforts to transform how knowledge is expressed into abstract models that can inform action through computation.

This persistent computable knowledge is the “Keystone” that holds the Learning Cycle Together. At the LHS Collaboratory Seminar Series event on Tuesday, January 15, learn about the movement underway to promote the advancement of computable biomedical knowledge. Join Rachel Richesson, PhD, MPH, from Duke University, along with colleagues from the University of Michigan to hear more about the movement and ways to join the community!

Linking a dose-response model to observed infection to describe spatial-temporal patterns in a Q fever outbreak (January 22, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59717 59717-14780104@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 22, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Public Health I (Vaughan Building)
Organized By: Center for Midlife Science

Abstract: We explore a Netherlands outbreak of Q fever in 2009 by combining a human dose–response model with geostatistics to predict local probability of infection, associated probability of illness, and local effective exposures to Coxiella burnetii. We begin with the spatial distribution of 220 notified cases in the at–risk population. Next, we use the dose-response relationship (established via historical experiments) to convert the observed risk map into an estimated smooth spatial field of local dose. Based on the observed symptomatic cases, the dose–response model predicts a median of 611 asymptomatic infections (95% range 410 to 1,084), i.e., 2.78 (95% range 1.86 to 4.93) asymptomatic infections for each reported case. The estimated peak levels of exposure extend to the north–east from the point source with an increasing proportion of asymptomatic infections further from the source. Our work combines established methodology from model-based geostatistics and dose-response modeling providing a novel approach to study outbreaks. Such predictions (and associated uncertainties) are important for targeting interventions during an outbreak, estimating future disease burden, and planning public health response.

Gun violence in the United States: Competing frames and policy tensions (February 4, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60056 60056-14814821@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 4, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Weill Hall (Ford School)
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Free and open to the public. This event will be livestreamed. Check event website just before the event for viewing details.

Join the conversation: #policytalks

This event is made possible in part through the generous support of the Gilbert S. Omenn and Martha A. Darling Health Policy Fund.

About the event:

Gun violence represents a significant social problem in the United States. In a single week, the U.S. experiences, on average, over 1,200 gun-related incidents, including accidents, suicides, homicides, and mass shootings. Of all developed nations, the U.S. has - by far - the highest rates of gun ownership and gun violence.

Many competing lenses frame the primary causes or drivers of the unique and multi-faceted problem of gun violence in the U.S., lenses that invoke perspectives on crime, race, mental health, immigration, and other contentious issues. Moreover, the topic of gun violence results in extremely heated, bitter, and politically-divisive policy debates. This will be a moderated discussion with a panel of experts who have competing views on how best to frame or define the problem of gun violence and priority policy solutions.

Panelists:

Jane Coaston, Senior politics reporter at VOX

Jonathan Metzl, MD, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Sociology, Director of the Center for Medicine, Health and Society at Vanderbilt University

Rebecca Cunningham, MD, Professor of Emergency Medicine, Director of Injury Prevention Center, and Associate Vice President for Research-Health Sciences, University of Michigan

Moderator:

Paula Lantz, PhD, Professor of Public Policy, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Ford School of Public Policy
