The Social Determinants of Mental Health: From Awareness to Action
Location: Chicago, Illinios, USA
Venue: Drake Hotel
Date: June 3rd and 4th, 2010
Abstractsubmission deadline: December 31, 2009
Research shows that people living in communities plagued high rates of joblessness, poverty, crime and violence as well as inadequate housing, health care, education and social services suffer disproportionately high rates of stress, anxiety, trauma-induced illnesses, depression, substance abuse and cognitive challenges. Often, the mental health preventions and interventions that are implemented in these difficult social contexts are designed to affect individual change; rarely do they seek to address or alter the broader social conditions that cause psychological illness. By failing to address the critical social determinants of mental health, health care policies and programs often fall short of meeting the needs of our most disadvantaged communities.
On June 3rd and 4th, 2010, the Institute on Social Exclusion at the Adler School of Professional Psychology will host its annual conference at the Drake Hotel in downtown Chicago. Entitled “The Social Determinants of Mental Health: From Awareness to Action”, the purpose of the Conference is to:
- Increase awareness about how social conditions impact mental health and well-being;
- Develop and disseminate mental health prevention and intervention strategies that are informed by the social determinants framework;
- Create multidisciplinary collaborations to identify and address the complex social conditions that impact mental health; and
- Develop new knowledge and practice innovations.
Keynote Speakers:
David Satcher, MD, PhD - The 16th Surgeon General of the United States, past member of the World Health Organization Commission on the Social Determinants of Health, former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and currently, the Director of the Satcher Health Leadership Center at the Morehouse School of Medicine.
Sandro Galea, MD, MPH, DrPH - Professor of Epidemiology at the School of Public Health, Research Professor at the Institute of Social Research at the University of Michigan.
A 300 word abstract is due on December 31, 2009.

Risk Sharing and Conditional Based Pricing and Reimbursement Conference
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Event Date: 3-4 Jun 2010
Examining Risk Sharing Strategies and Execution in a Multiple Payer Environment to Achieve Measurable Outcomes
Conference Focus
marcus evans invites you to attend the Risk Sharing and Conditional Based Pricing and Reimbursement Conference specific to the Pharmaceutical Industry. More than 15 professionals from leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies will discuss critical issues in pricing and reimbusement agreements and examine how they can work together in the future to implement measurable risk sharing and conditional based pricing and reimbursement strategies.
This conference comes at a pivotal time for the pharmaceutical, medical device and biopharmaceutical industries. Risk sharing and different forms of conditional based pricing and reimbursement practices have been implemented for over a decade in Europe with government payers. As pipelines dry up, the industry is looking for ways to get new drugs to the market. Due to the multiple player environments in the U.S., difficulties have arisen in implementation of these risk-sharing strategies.
This is not a trade show; our Pricing and Reimbursement conference is targeted at a focused group of senior level executives to maintain an intimate atmosphere for the delegates and speakers. Since we are not a vendor driven conference, the higher level focus allows the delegates to network with their industry peers and speakers.
Key Conference Topics
- Examine the future of pricing and reimbursement strategies, including the potential effects of risk sharing, conditional based and other innovative techniques
- Gain a better understanding how European risk sharing strategies can be implemented in the U.S.
- Initiate relationships with Payers based on their requirements for pricing and reimbursement strategies
- Differentiate pay-for-performance strategies with risk sharing strategies
- Set up appropriate metrics early on in order to measure outcomes of the pricing and reimbursement strategy
