SUMMARY:Ashton Verdery: COVID-19\, bereavement\, and downstream health challenges
DESCRIPTION:On April 1\, 2022\, Ashton Verdery\, Associate Professor of Sociology & Demography at Pennsylvania State University\, will present “COVID-19\, bereavement\, and downstream health challenges” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nDr. Verdery’s research focuses on social networks: how and why people are socially connected to each other and the consequences of those connections. Within this broad area\, he is especially interested in demographic processes\, specifically how population dynamics shape family\, kinship\, and social networks and how those networks in turn affect health and other population processes. Dr. Verdery is a graduate of CPC’s Training Program. \nAbstract: Millions around the world are grieving the loss of loved ones from COVID-19\, but prior research has not tested whether COVID-19-related bereavement presents unique health risks compared to other forms of bereavement. If bereavement from COVID-19 is more strongly associated with health challenges than bereavement more generally\, large cohorts of newly bereaved individuals may create lasting population health challenges in heavily affected countries. Using population-based data and a pseudo-experimental\, difference-in-difference research design\, we test whether associations between family bereavement and depression differ when bereavement is caused by COVID-19 compared to other causes. Consistent with past scholarship\, we find strong associations between family bereavement and depression and that self-reported depression appears to have decreased during the pandemic. However\, our difference-in-difference estimates indicate that experiencing COVID-19-related family bereavement is more strongly associated with depression than non-COVID-19 forms of bereavement\, a finding that is robust across numerous specifications related to duration since exposure and type of family member lost\, but that shows some variation across subpopulations by gender\, age\, and severity of local COVID-19 mortality shock. This research raises new concerns about the long-run implications of the COVID-19 pandemic’s secondary impacts\, further underscores the health risks associated with bereavement more generally\, and highlights how acute mortality shocks of different sorts can create cascading population health challenges. Coauthors: Haowei Wang\, Emily Smith-Greenaway\, Shawn Bauldry\, and Rachel Margolis. \nWe record as many seminars as possible. You can see previous events here.

SUMMARY:Shaping an integrated response at the intersection of mental health\, substance use\, and HIV within the IeDEA consortium
DESCRIPTION:Kathryn Lancaster\, PhD\, MPH\nAssistant Professor in Epidemiology\nCollege of Public Health\, The Ohio State University \n Angela Parcesepe\, PhD\, MPH\, MSW \nAssistant Professor\, Department of Maternal and Child Health\, Gillings School of Global Public Health\nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \nThe International Epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) consortium was established by the NIH in 2006 to provide a rich resource for globally diverse HIV data to address HIV-related research questions that were not possible to answer with currently existing individual cohorts. The IeDEA consortium collects observational data representing over 2.2 million people living with and at risk for HIV contributed by clinical centers and research groups across 44 countries and 7 geographic regions. \nIn this talk\, we will discuss the IeDEA’s consortium research at the intersection of mental health\, substance use\, and HIV treatment. Mental health and substance use disorders are among the most common comorbidities among people with HIV globally and have been associated with poor quality of life and HIV care continuum outcomes including delayed HIV diagnosis\, suboptimal ART adherence\, and virologic failure. \nThis talk will focus on mental health and substance use research priorities related to the implementation and scale up of ‘Treat All’ policies throughout sub-Saharan Africa\, the integration of mental health and substance use services at HIV clinics throughout the IeDEA consortium\, regional research examining the intersection of depression\, heavy episodic drinking\, and HIV disclosure among people with HIV in IeDEA Cameroon\, and the recent launch of longitudinal cohorts of aging people with HIV (the IeDEA Sentinel Research Network) and adolescents and young adults with HIV (AYANI) in IeDEA. Finally\, we will discuss future directions for research at the intersection of mental health\, substance use\, and HIV treatment in the IeDEA consortium and beyond. \nEmail darcommunications@nih.gov for passcode
