Health Care: Necessary But Not Sufficient
Additional Information:
http://www.rwjf.org/content/dam/farm/reports/issue_briefs/2014/rwjf415715
Description:
More education means better health—in part because more education brings better jobs, improved access to health insurance, and higher earnings that can help pay for medical expenses and a healthier lifestyle. Conversely, people with less education tend to have more challenges accessing health services—lower rates of health insurance coverage and less money to afford copayments and prescription drugs; they are also more likely to live in low-income neighborhoods with limited access to primary care providers.

The Society for Prevention Research (SPR) is dedicated to promoting global health and well-being, and the SPR annual meeting provides an opportunity for scientists, practitioners, advocates, administrators, and policy makers from around the world to exchange ideas and discuss strategies to achieve this goal.
This year’s conference theme, “Integrating Prevention Science and Public Policy,” offers the opportunity to consider the intersection of prevention science and policy in settings around the world. This theme emphasizes the value of a mutually supportive dialogue that addresses ways prevention science can effectively contribute to advancing evidence-based policy, and opportunities for policy issues to drive a pragmatic science agenda. Both researchers and policymakers have long suggested that high-quality research could and should be used to inform and shape policies and practice. The policy context can also serve as an important driver of applied research to provide empirical answers and data-driven information to address policy questions. Over the last several years, there have been exciting developments in both public and private investments in identifying solutions that work and making them work for more people. For example, initiatives such as the Social Innovation Fund seek “new ways to solve old problems that are faster, cost-effective, data-driven and lead to better results for the public good.” Additionally, major shifts in health policy driven by the Affordable Care Act provide opportunities to conduct research to advance prevention in a changing health service context. The intent of this conference theme is to foster discussion regarding how and under what conditions research is used to inform policies and practices and how policy priorities shape what researchers study. Discussions regarding the strength of evidence and “what works,” emerging science of studying how evidence can more effectively inform policy, cost-benefit considerations, and strategies for scaling programs to make deep and broad impact are central to this topic. Importantly, this conference theme will encourage knowledge sharing about the science at all levels of integration of prevention science and public policy including cutting edge strategies and models for evidence-based policy and policy-informed science.
The SPR Program Committee invites submissions for the conference that fit within this broad theme as well as the related special themes described below. We will also consider proposals that focus on the core areas of interest to SPR, the general themes including research related to epidemiology and etiology, development and testing of interventions, implementation and dissemination strategies, and innovative methods and statistics (see below). Submissions are encouraged from researchers and policy makers at all stages of their career and from varied backgrounds including public health, population health, education, human services, criminal justice, medical and bio-behavioral sciences, genetics, developmental science, and social science.

8th Annual Conference on Health Disparities
Additional Information:
http://www.nationalhealthdisparities.com/2014/overview.php
Description:
Like its seven predecessors, the 2014 NCHD will focus on policies and programs to reduce health disparities, with one panel addressing a new topic: the impact of health issues, including disparities, on our nation’s military personnel and national security. Throughout the conference, presenters will emphasize the role of social determinants, personal responsibility and prevention in initiatives that reduce disparities.
Why is this important to all Americans, and not just our nation’s minority citizens? Over time, our nation’s healthcare providers and policy makers have come to understand that the wellbeing of each American impacts the well-being of all Americans. Truly healthy communities and their citizen-leaders recognize the roles human health, environmental quality, environmental justice and economic development play in overall community development. Moreover, at a time when our nation’s traditional “sick-care” medical model appears to be unsustainable, a comprehensive “well-care” approach, recognizing social determinants and emphasizing prevention and personal responsibility, may reduce disparities and restore much-needed balance to the national dialogue on healthcare.
From 2007 through 2013, national conferences in Charleston, SC; the U.S. Virgin Islands; Atlanta, GA; Philadelphia, PA, and Little Rock, AR, have brought together diverse partners, presenters and attendees to share their knowledge of health disparities. These programs have uncovered a much larger story: that social determinants, such as race, poverty, low educational attainment, public safety, environmental quality and inadequate housing, are major contributors to health disparities. These findings suggest the potential benefits of rededicating a portion of America’s healthcare resources to programs that emphasize education, prevention and personal responsibility – each person’s willingness and capacity to make informed decisions that reduce the likelihood of disease development.
This program’s agenda offers participants the chance to interact in a variety of settings, including a student forum with poster presentations, panel sessions on specific topics, keynote and luncheon speakers, and more relaxed social activities. This brochure includes information on registration, accommodations, sponsorship opportunities and conference-related social media.
I hope you will take the opportunity to join us for what we believe will be a milestone event in our NCHD series.

Balancing Fidelity & Adaptation: If We Want More Evidence-Based Practice, We Need More Practice-Based Evidence
Additional Information:
https://cyberseminar.cancercontrolplanet.org/implementationscience/
Description:
On Wednesday, September 24, 2014 from 2:00-3:00 pm EDT, we are pleased to have Drs. Green and Gold join us for a reprisal of their engaging presentation and discussion from this year’s Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health (TIDIRH). Fidelity and Adaptation relate to the manner in which the evidence from a research study is brought to practice. There is fidelity if the program is implementation very similar to how it was originally designed and there is adaptation when there are changes made to the process and content of the program to fit to a particular context. In most cases, contextual factors can influence the ability to maintain fidelity as well as the need for adaptation. In this session, these concepts will be discussed in depth with examples.
