Call for Papers: The Social Determinants of Mental Health: From Awareness to Action

Location: Chicago, Illinios, USA
Venue: Drake Hotel
Date: June 3rd and 4th, 2010
Abstract submission 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.

4th Latin American and Caribbean Congress on Health Economics/1st Chilean Conference on Health Economics (2010)

Location: Santiago, Chile
Theme: The contribution of health economics to the equitable access to health care in a context of crisis
Dates: 20th to 22nd of January 2010

Introduction:

The 4th Latin American and Caribbean Congress on Health Economics will take place in a context of worldwide economic crisis. The most moderate forecasts indicate that in 2009, for the first time after 60 years, the world GDP growth will be negative. Recovery is not expected to take place before the first half of 2010, and then only if all efforts converge. In any case, it is a difficult economic time for Latin American countries that have shown vulnerability and dependence on the economic outputs of relatively more developed countries. In summary, globalization also means the globalization of economic imbalances when these happen.

In a picture like this, it is difficult for the health sector to stay untouched. Previous experience shows that economic crisis strongly impacts the sustainability of social expenditure. For this reason, it is unlikely that the ratio of health expenditure to GDP can be maintained at levels observed in the last years. This is happening in the context of more pressure on healthcare due to the general deterioration of the quality of life of the Latin American population, and in the context of reduction of contributors to health insurance (in countries with this modality).

Because of this, the 4th congress slogan is “the contribution of health economics to the equitable access to health care in a context of crisis”, thus, emphasizing the policies and tools that could come to play to counteract the effects of the crisis. We want this congress to contribute to the design of strong democratic policies, which promote higher solidarity in health expenditure and at the same time are efficient.

For AES Chile and the Ministry of Health, the organization of the congress constitutes an honor and a challenge that allow us to strengthen the knowledge in this area in our country.

Call for Papers: Health. Happiness. Inequality: Modelling the Pathways between Income Inequality and Health

Location: Darmstadt, Germany
Conference dates: 4-6 June 2010
Submission deadline: January 31, 2010

The purpose of this conference is to analyse the relationship between income inequalities and health. It is widely accepted that interpersonal comparisons and relative deprivation are closely related to an individual’s life satisfaction. However, economists have been reluctant to accept claims brought forward in other disciplines that economic inequalities as such have a direct impact on individual health. The conference aims at bringing these two perspectives together and shed some light on how economic modelling can contribute to our understanding of the interplay between income inequalities, life satisfaction, and health.

Papers on relevant topics in Microsoft Word or pdf format should be sent before January 31, 2010 to the following address:

Martin Karlsson
karlsson@vwl.tu-darmstadt.de
Chair of Applied Econometrics, TU Darmstadt

Submitted papers should include the following information:

Title of the paper
Name(s) of author(s) and institutional affiliation
Mailing address and e-mail of the presenter
Key words related with the subject of the paper

Submitted papers will be assessed and selected by the scientific committee of the conference. Acceptance of papers will be mailed to authors by March 1, 2010. There is no registration fee for the conference. Selected participants will be provided free lodging in the city of Darmstadt.

Keynote Address

Understanding Competitive Emotions - Perspectives from Neuroscience
Simone G. Shamay-Tsoory (University of Haifa)

Plenary Speakers

Sixth IMA International Conference on Quantitative Modelling in the Management of Health Care: The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications

Location: Mary Ward House, London
Conference dates: 29 - 31 March 2010
Abstract submission deadline: 20 December 2009

Health and Social Care systems are undergoing major changes worldwide, due in part to changes in demography and in part to increased competition between parts of the system whether they are hospitals, primary care trusts, or general practitioners. Yet running health and social care systems efficiently and effectively is crucial to improving or even maintaining our quality of life. Over the years, extensive research has been conducted to find immediate and long-term solutions to issues that are routinely faced by health and social care management professionals, such as waiting lists and bed capacity, hospital redesign, workforce planning and scheduling, patient flow modelling, performance management, disease monitoring, and health care technology assessment. Simulation and modelling techniques (statistical analysis, stochastic processes, queuing theory, mathematical programming, heuristics, discrete event simulation, system dynamics, etc) have shown to be increasingly valuable in providing useful information to aid planning and management.

The aim of the conference is to bring together health care managers, clinicians, management consultants, and mathematicians, operational researchers, statisticians, economists, computer scientists etc from across the world with a view to bridging the gap between the communities and to exploring recent developments and identifying fruitful avenues for further research.

We invite researchers in all relevant problem domains and methodologies to submit abstracts of 300-500 words online at http://online.ima.org.uk/ or to Amy Marsh at Amy.Marsh@ima.org.uk by 20 December 2009. Case studies and methodological papers are both welcome. Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified by the end of January 2010. Authors should indicate whether they wish to make an oral or a poster presentation. Poster presentations are particularly welcome as they stimulate discussion and feedback.

We are also planning a special poster presentation session for PhD students to show their work in progress. Selected papers presented at the conference (whether orally or as a poster) will be published in the Springer journal Health Care Management Science or the IMA Journal of Management Mathematics.

Keynote Speakers

The keynote talks will be given by health services leaders as well as prominent academics involved in health operational research.

Confirmed invited speakers include:

Prof Sir Bruce Keogh (NHS Medical Director)

Prof William Pierskella (UCLA Anderson School of Management, USA)

Dr David Worthington (Lancaster University Management School)

17th Annual Rand Summer Institute

Location: Santa Monica, California, USA
Dates: July 12-15, 2010
Application Deadline: March 12, 2010

The RSI consists of two conferences addressing critical issues facing our aging population: a Mini-Medical School for Social Scientists (July 12-13) and a workshop on the Demography, Economics and Epidemiology of Aging (July 14-15). The primary aim of the RSI is to expose scholars interested in the study of aging to a wide range of research being conducted in fields beyond their own specialties.

The Mini-Med School focuses on biomedical issues relating to aging and should be of interest to all non-medically trained scholars regardless of background. Topics will be drawn from the diverse fields of biomedicine, including biology, genetics, patient care, psychiatry, and other areas. Expert clinicians and researchers will provide participants with insight into the science of aging and a greater understanding of relevant medical issues.

The Workshop on Aging is targeted to pre- and post-doctoral students and junior faculty, and to more senior researchers new to aging research. It will consist of four half-day sessions with topics drawn from research areas in the social sciences, including discussions of savings, disability, and quality of life issues. In each session, leading experts will discuss the state of the literature, integrating results from their own research and supplementing these overviews with more detailed analyses of specific topics.

We invite all interested researchers to apply to attend the 2010 RSI. Applicants may apply for fellowship support to pay for registration, travel, and accommodations. Both the Mini-Med School and the workshop are described more fully at our web site: http://www.rand.org/labor/aging/rsi/. For additional information, please contact Diana Malouf malouf@rand.org.

RSI is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging and the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research at the National Institutes of Health. RAND is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer

Research on Connections between Health and SES Using PSID Data, Panel Study of Income Dynamics

Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan, US
Venue: Survey Research Center, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan
Conference date: September 2010

Purpose

Between 10-20 papers will be presented at a conference to be held in Ann Arbor, MI in September 2010.

Background

The PSID has followed the same families and their descendents since 1968, for 36 waves as of 2009, making it one of the premier datasets for generational analysis. When study participants leave a family to start their own household, such as when adult children move out on their own, the new family unit is added to the Core Panel and interviewed. Children born to or adopted by sample members become part of the study population and are followed over their lives. This practical sample design supports both intra- generational and inter-generational life course models. For example, there are many thousands of unique sibling pairs in the core PSID and 925 in the Child Development Supplement (CDS) alone. In 2007, about 4,300 ‘Heads/Wives’ had a sibling who was also a ‘Head/Wife’ in 2007. Moreover, there are currently ample data on up to three generations of the same family, allowing the analysis of child-parent models, parent- grandparent models, and child-grandparent models. For example, in the 2007 wave, there are about 4,500 ‘Heads/Wives’ who have parents who are also ‘Heads/Wives’, more than 1,100 ‘Heads/Wives’ who have grandparents who are also ‘Heads/Wives’, and about 1,000 ‘Heads/Wives’ who have both parents and grandparents who are also ‘Heads/Wives.’

The information collected on socioeconomic status and health is substantial. Extensive information on income, education, and employment has been collected in most waves since the survey began in 1968. A supplement in 1986 included substantial information on health which was expanded and included in every wave starting in 1999. A summary of the health data in the PSID is available at the PSID website: http://psidonline.isr.umich.edu/data/

Goals of Conference

The goals of the conference are to bring together scholars in the area of health and SES to generate additional scientific and policy-relevant findings, facilitate future collaborations including NIH proposal submissions, and provide feedback to PSID about possible needs for content changes and/or future data collections. Papers will be considered for publication in a refereed special issue of the B. E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy. More information about the journal can be found at: http://www.bepress.com/bejeap/.

Listed below are some examples of topics, intended for illustrative purposes. This is not a comprehensive list of possible topics.

Establish the differences in the relationships between health and socioeconomic status among adult siblings - and between parents and adult children - across the life course, and elucidate the various mechanisms accounting for these relationships;
Estimate models of transmission in education, economic status, and health status across two and three generations, including an examination of endogenous family structure;
Examine generational differences in factors affecting the retirement decision, including socioeconomic and health factors;
Examine the transitions and/or spells in health insurance coverage and their relationship to other transitions;
Examine the effects of events early in the life course on later-life outcomes;
Investigate the role of neighborhood factors on health.
