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:David Meltzer: Improving Care for Patients at Increased Risk of Hospitalization: Translating the Comprehensive Care Physician Model from Theory to Practice and Policy
DESCRIPTION:On April 22\, 2022\, David Meltzer will present as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nDavid O. Meltzer is Chief of the Section of Hospital Medicine\, Director of the Center for Health and the Social Sciences\, and Chair of the Committee on Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Chicago\, where he is Professor in the Department of Medicine\, and affiliated faculty at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and the Department of Economics. Meltzer’s research explores problems in health economics and public policy with a focus on the theoretical foundations of medical cost-effectiveness analysis and the cost and quality of hospital care. Meltzer has performed randomized trials comparing the use of doctors who specialize in inpatient care (“hospitalists”). He is currently leading a Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Innovation Challenge award to study the effects of improved continuity in the doctor patient relationship between the inpatient and outpatient setting on the costs and outcomes of care for frequently hospitalized Medicare patients. He led the formation of the Chicago Learning Effectiveness Advancement Research Network (Chicago LEARN) that helped pioneer collaboration of Chicago-Area academic medical centers in hospital-based comparative effectiveness research and the recent support of the Chicago Area Patient Centered Outcomes Research Network (CAPriCORN) by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). \nMeltzer received his MD and PhD in economics from the University of Chicago and completed his residency in internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. Meltzer is the recipient of numerous awards\, including the Lee Lusted Prize of the Society for Medical Decision Making\, the Health Care Research Award of the National Institute for Health Care Management\, and the Eugene Garfield Award from Research America. Meltzer is a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research\, elected member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation\, and past president of the Society for Medical Decision Making. He has served on several IOM panels\, include one examining U.S. organ allocation policy and the recent panel on the Learning Health Care System that produced Best Care at Lower Cost. He also has served on the DHHS Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Healthy People 2020\, the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Methodology Committee\, as a Council Member of the National Institute for General Medical Studies\, and as a health economics advisor for the Congressional Budget Office.
