CPHA and BARU Host Duke-NIH Leveraging Existing Data and Analytic Methods for Heath Disparities Research Related to Aging Workshop

Duke's  Biodemography of Aging Research Unit (BARU) is hosting the the Duke-NIH Workshop "Leveraging Existing Data and Analytic Methods for Health Disparities Research Related to Aging" assembling a broad array of experts including Carl Hill, NIA Office of Special Populations. The objective of the Workshop is to improve the understanding of how existing analytic methods and data can be leveraged to make progress in understanding the causes and mechanisms of health-related disparities in Alzheimer’s Disease, related dementias and other prominent age-related diseases. Discussion will cover a range of academic and administrative topics.

On Friday, October 4, DUPRI's  William Pan will present “Dying for Gold: Health, Environmental, and Social impacts of Artisanal Gold Mining” as part of the Carolina Population Series 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.

Magda Cerda, Population Health, NYU to speak on Simulating the Bounds on Plausibility: Using agent-based models to estimate the impact of high-risk and population-based approaches to reduce firearm violence

Magdalena Cerdá, DrPH MPH, is the Director of the NYU Center for Opioid Epidemiology and Policy, and Associate Professor in the Department of Population Health at NYU Langone Health. In this talk, Dr. Cerdá will present findings from a study where she and colleagues used agent-based models to simulate the potential impact of expanding firearms denial criteria (an approach focused on high-risk groups) and increasing the price of firearms (an approach aimed at the whole population, regardless of risk) on rates of firearm violence. The talk will include a discussion of the implications of high-risk versus population-based approaches to prevention of leading public health problems such as firearm violence.
