SUMMARY:CANCELED: Michael H. Esposito: Racism and Quantitative Counterfactual Inference: Historical and Life-Course Examples
DESCRIPTION:This event has been canceled and will be rescheduled for the spring semester.  \nOn August 27\, 2021\, Michael H. Esposito\, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis\, will present “Racism and Quantitative Counterfactual Inference: Historical and Life-Course Examples” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nDr. Esposito’s research examines how structural racism shapes population health. His work investigates how macro-level economic\, social and ideological systems—and the institutions that comprise them—are arranged in ways that confer significant advantages for individuals interpreted as white; penalties for individuals interpreted as non-white; and how these systematically produced rewards/risk coalesce and generate health inequity among individuals. This work includes: (1) studies that examine how the actions of race-cognizant institutions (like law enforcement agencies) contribute to health disparities; (2) studies that consider how multiple racialized systems interact to gate access to critical health contexts; and (3) projects that examine how structural racism enters into and distorts social processes that are foundational to well-being (e.g.\, the association among education and health). He specializes in statistical methods—particularly Bayesian approaches and techniques for drawing causal(-ish!) inferences from observational data. \nAbstract \nWhile evidence suggests an association between redlining and population health\, we still lack empirical accounts of how this historical act of racialized violence arrived on contemporary inequities. In this study\, we use a counterfactual-based mediation framework to evaluate 1) how the spatial marking of places\, codified by redlining\, translated into historical trajectories influencing life expectancy and 2) how racialized disparities in life expectancy might look if Black working-class neighborhoods were exposed to histories of White professional-class neighborhoods. We find significant disparities in life expectancy between redlined geographies that can be traced along urban renewal\, racialized economic isolation\, and property valuation in the following decades. Still\, only a small fraction of the total disparity between Black working- class and white professional-class communities is explained by this historical exposure. Policy implications include targeting resources to formerly redlined neighborhoods\, but also dismantling broader racist logics of capital accumulation codified in more abstracted political economies of place. \nWe record as many seminars as possible.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Alexis Dennis\, UNC Sociology Odum Award Winner
DESCRIPTION:Racial Differences in the Influence of Socioeconomic Resources on Depressive Symptomatology across the Early Life Course.\nPrior scholarship documents that having more socioeconomic resources is associated with better mental health. Yet\, accumulating work shows that Black Americans do not consistently receive the same mental health returns to greater socioeconomic resources as White Americans. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques\, I analyze a sample of Black and White young adults from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). I investigate how access to various socioeconomic resources across stages of early life influence depression trajectories among US young adults from adolescence to early midlife. I also test when in the early life course\, and how\, these processes vary across racial groups. Findings demonstrate an association between adolescent socioeconomic disadvantage and increased depressive symptomatology across the transition to adulthood\, young adulthood\, and early midlife. Increased educational attainment in the transition to adulthood is also associated with fewer depressive symptoms in young adulthood and early midlife. Moreover\, low income in young adulthood is associated with increased depressive symptomatology in early midlife. Importantly\, racial differences in the types of socioeconomic resources\, and duration of influence of socioeconomic resources\, that are associated with depression across stages of early life are also present. These findings advance understanding of the underlying socioeconomic life course mechanisms that generate the racial inequalities in mental health observed among U.S. adults. \nDetails\nDate: \nSeptember 8 \nTime: \n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nWebsite: \nhttps://unc.zoom.us/j/97022362896 \n  \nFollow all talks for Fall 2021 at https://sociology.unc.edu/sociology-events/colloquium-series/

SUMMARY:Mark Hayward: Understanding Recent Trends in Dementia Prevalence for Older Black and White Americans
DESCRIPTION:On September 10\, 2021\, Mark Hayward\, Professor of Sociology and the director of the Population Health Initiative at the University of Texas at Austin\, will present as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nDr. Hayward also serves as the Training Director of the Population Research Center. He recently served as the the president of the Southern Demographic Association\, chair of the Aging and Life Course section of the American Sociological Association\, and is the chair of the Sociology of Population section of the ASA. He has served on the boards of the Population Association of America and the Society of Biodemography and Social Biology\, and he was a member and then chair of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research council. Currently\, he is a member of the Committee on Population\, National Academy of Sciences\, and the Board of Scientific Counselors at the National Center for Health Statistics. He recently served on the National Advisory Committee for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Health and Society Scholars Program. Hayward received his Ph.D. in sociology from Indiana University in 1981. \nHis primary research addresses how life course exposures and events influence the morbidity and mortality experiences of the adult population. Recent studies have clarified how early life conditions influence socioeconomic\, race and gender disparities in adult morbidity and mortality; the demography of race/ethnic and gender disparities in healthy life expectancy; social inequality in the biomarkers of aging\, and the health consequences of marriage\, divorce\, and widowhood. Most recently\, he has been investigating the fundamental inequalities in adult mortality in the United States arising from educational experience\, differences in these associations by race and gender\, and trends in inequality in mortality. Currently\, he is part of a national scientific team examining the role of federal and state policies shaping the growing inequality in life chances in the US adult population. His research on these topics has been by the National Institute on Aging and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute on Child Health and Human Development. His recently published work has appeared in the American Journal of Public Health\, Demography\, the Journals of Gerontology: Social Sciences\, the Journal of Health and Social Behavior\, and Social Science and Medicine. \nAbstract \nObjectives: Today’s talk is motivated by recent evidence that dementia prevalence has been declining in the United States. Less clear\, however\, is whether important sociodemographic groups diverged or perhaps contributed in different ways to the overall national trend. For example\, is the downward trend in dementia prevalence evident across the age range (young old compared to the oldest old)? Do Blacks and Whites both experience downward trends in dementia prevalence? Have changes in educational attainment\, as well as other changes in modifiable risk factors for dementia (such as changes in poor childhood circumstances\, health behaviors\, and health conditions)\, had widespread consequences across major race–age groups \nMethods: The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is used to assess dementia prevalence changes for non-Hispanic Blacks and Whites between 2000-2014 for community dwelling and nursing home residents aged 65 years and older. Cognitive status has been validated using clinical diagnoses and survey scores of a subsample of HRS respondents. The analysis of the dementia prevalence trends is based on logistic regression models predicting the log odds of having dementia as a function of a time-trend variable and a set of relevant covariates. \nResults: Consistent with other studies\, we found significant declines in dementia for Blacks and Whites across the 2000-2014 period. Nonetheless\, these declines were not uniform across age and race groups. Blacks aged 65–74 years had the steepest decline in this period. We also found that improved educational attainment in the population was fundamentally important in understanding declining dementia prevalence in the United States. \nDiscussion: This study shows the importance of improvement in educational attainment in the early part of the twentieth century to understand the downward trend in dementia prevalence in the United States from 2000 to 2014. The downward trend was unrelated to dementia risk \nfactors such as controlled hypertension\, changes in health behaviors\, or changes in early life conditions. This finding has implications not only for understanding current trends in the United States\, but also the potential role of the growth in cognitive ability and functioning in other countries that underwent similar rapid expansions in schooling. \nWe record as many seminars as possible.

SUMMARY:Rebecca Kreitzer: Unplanning Pregnancy: The Politics of Contraception Deserts
DESCRIPTION:On September 17\, 2021\, Rebecca Kreitzer\, Associate Professor of Public Policy and an Adjunct Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, will present “Unplanning Pregnancy: The Politics of Contraception Deserts” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. This is a project with Candis Watts Smith (Duke)\, Kellen Kane (UNC Policy PhD student)\, Tracee Saunders (former UNC Policy undergrad\, now PhD student at Iowa). \nDr. Kreitzer’s research focuses on gender\, political representation\, political inequality\, and public policy in the US states. She teaches classes on the politics of policy\, public policy theory\, gender and sexuality policy\, and interest groups. \nAbstract: \nHistorically\, access to contraception has been supported in a bipartisan way\, best exemplified by consistent Congressional funding of Title X–the only federal program specifically focused on providing affordable reproductive healthcare to American residents. However\, in an era of partisan polarization\, Title X has become a political and symbolic pawn\, in part due to its connection to family planning organizations like Planned Parenthood. The conflicts around Title X highlight the effects of the intertwining of abortion politics with that of contraception policy\, particularly as they relate to reproductive justice and gendered policymaking. To what extent are contraception deserts—places characterized by inequitable access to Title X—developed or expanded in response to policy changes around contraception and reproductive health? What is the demographic make-up of these spaces of inequality? \nWe record as many seminars as possible. You can see previous events here.

SUMMARY:Aunchalee Palmquist: Advancing Health Equity in the first 1\,000 days: Breastfeeding and Reproductive Justice
DESCRIPTION:On September 24\, 2021\, Aunchalee Palmquist\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Maternal and Child Health at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health and an affiliate of the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute (CGBI)\, will present as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nDr. Palmquist’s research addresses the intersectionality of perinatal maternal\, newborn and young child health disparities globally and in the U.S.\, with an emphasis on breastfeeding. Dr. Palmquist’s interdisciplinary work bridges medical anthropology and global public health. She conducts community-based participatory research and uses both ethnographic methods and mixed-methods approaches. Her scholarship and practice are informed by human rights based approaches and a reproductive justice lens. \nDr. Palmquist is the lead for the CGBI Lactation and Infant Feeding in Emergencies (L.I.F.E.™) Initiative. She serves as a CGBI representative on the WHO/UNICEF Global Breastfeeding Collective\, the Emergency Nutrition Network IFE Core Group\, and the United States Breastfeeding Committee as Co-Steward of the COVID-19 Infant and Young Child Feeding Constellation. Dr. Palmquist has previously served as an International Lactation Consultants Association liaison to the United Nations. \nAbstract: The perinatal period is a critical time during which health interventions have potential to impact immediate\, life course\, and intergenerational outcomes for mothers\, children\, and families. Collaborative community-engaged approaches are critical to advancing health equity for this population. In this presentation\, Dr. Palmquist will describe her research on breastfeeding and reproductive justice globally and locally. \nWe record as many seminars as possible.

SUMMARY:Thomas McDade: Biosocial 2.0:  Future directions for research at the interface of the biological and social sciences
DESCRIPTION:On October 1\, 2021\, Thom McDade\, a biological anthropologist and the Director of the Laboratory for Human Biology Research at Northwestern University\, will present “Biosocial 2.0:  Future directions for research at the interface of the biological and social sciences” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nThom McDade is a biological anthropologist specializing in human population biology. His work is primarily concerned with the dynamic interrelationships among society\, biology and health over the life course\, with an emphasis on life course approaches to stress and the human immune system. The development and application of minimally-invasive methods for integrating physiological measures into population-based research is also a major area of interest. Prior research in Samoa\, and ongoing research in Bolivia and Ecuador\, investigates how local cultural transitions associated with globalization affect human development and health\, while research in the Philippines is exploring the long term developmental consequences of early nutritional and microbial environments. He is currently applying conceptual and methodological tools from this work to US-based research on health disparities\, with an emphasis on the potential contributions of stress and environments in infancy. \nAbstract: \nNovel methods for measuring human biology and health in non-clinical settings are generating new opportunities for discovery at the interface of the social and biological sciences.  In this seminar I highlight how biosocial approaches have enriched our explanatory and conceptual frameworks\, and I underscore how work in this area can fundamentally change how we think about human biology and the origins of social inequalities in health. \nWe record as many seminars as possible.

SUMMARY:Marcia (Marcy) J. Carlson and Peter Fallesen: Longer lives\, Later Births: Generational Overlap in Denmark and the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:On October 8\, 2021\, Marcy Carlson\, Professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, and Peter Fallesen (Rockwool Foundation and Stockholm University) will present as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nCarlson’s primary research interests center on the associations between family contexts and the wellbeing of parents and children. She has explored the changing composition of families and aspects of their functioning. Her early work explored how family structure was associated with child and adolescent being\, identifying fathers’ involvement with children as a key mechanism by which family structure affects offspring. Much of her recent work is focused on growing family diversity and complexity\, particularly with respect to fertility patterns and fatherhood\, as well as how family change is linked with inequality in both the U.S. and cross-national contexts. \nFallesen is an associate professor (docent) of sociology in the LNU/level-of-living group. Until December 2016\, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the same place. He received my PhD in sociology from the University of Copenhagen in February 2015. He is also a Research Professor at the Rockwool Foundation Research Unit in Copenhagen and a research affiliate at the Center for Demography and Ecology\, University of Wisconsin – Madison. He previously held visiting positions at Yale University\, UC Berkeley\, and European University Institute. \nWe record as many seminars as possible. You can see previous events here.

SUMMARY:Giovanna Merli: The Changing Intellectual Landscape of Demography: A Computational Look at Published Scholarship\, 1950-2020
DESCRIPTION:On November 19\, 2021\, Giovanna Merli\, Professor of Public Policy and Sociology at Duke University and a member of the Duke Global Health Institute\, will present “The Changing Intellectual Landscape of Demography: A Computational Look at Published Scholarship\, 1950-2020” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nHer research straddles three disciplinary realms: demography\, contemporary Chinese society and global health. She focuses on a range of population and health issues in developing countries that intersect frontline public policy\, such as the role of China’s population control program in lowering fertility preferences and fertility rates in China\, the social and behavioral determinants of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases and the evaluation of methodological approaches to sample hard-to-reach and hidden populations at high risk of acquiring HIV/AIDS. Merli combines her passion for demography and her 20-years experience with living in\, studying and conducting research in China in her most recent work. China is a very low HIV prevalence setting but infection rates are high in some population groups whose behaviors are driving the Chinese epidemic. Thus\, it is crucial to understand the social and behavioral patterns that put population groups with different risk profiles in contact with each other. Merli’s work examines the social and behavioral factors that create conditions which lead individuals in China to acquire HIV infection. This work is crucial to inform the design of appropriate interventions to prevent further spread of infection. Merli also studies HIV/AIDS in another\, very different setting of the global HIV epidemic\, South Africa\, where the AIDS morbidity and mortality crises are tantamount to a perturbation of the age structure. HIV/AIDS in South Africa mostly affects individuals in the mid-adult ages and her work focuses on understanding the consequences of this mortality and morbidity crisis for families and households. Research in China is my comparative advantage. \nAbstract: \nMuch of what we know about the intellectual landscape of demography comes from subjective narratives authored by leaders in the field\, whose reviews and observations are grounded in their broad knowledge of the field. Here we use bibliographic information from all articles in the journals Demography\, Population Studies and Population and Development Review to survey the changing contours of the field over the past 70 years. We characterize the field by applying a two-pronged\, data-driven approach from the sociology of science. The first uses natural language processing that lets the substance of the field emerge from the contents of publication records and applies social network analyses to identify groups of papers that talk about the same thing. The second uses bibliometric tools to capture demographers’ reliance on other disciplines. Our goals are to (a) identify the primary topics of demography since the discipline first gained prominence as an organized field; (b) assess changes in the field’s intellectual cohesion and the topical areas that have grown or shrunk; (c) examine how demographers place their work in relationship to other disciplines and our field’s visibility in the scientific literature. We discuss prospects for the continued scientific importance of demography as a standalone research field and its public visibility. \nWe record as many seminars as possible.

SUMMARY:Patrick Heuveline: CPC and the Future of Population Research
DESCRIPTION:On January 21\, 2022\, Patrick Heuveline\, Professor of Sociology at UCLA\, will present “CPC and the Future of Population Research” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nAbout Patrick Heuveline: \nMost of my recent research has focused on the long-term consequences of the “Khmer-Rouge” regime\, one of the most oppressive regimes in the second half of the 20th century. Yet\, these past months have humbled and reminded me of my duty to listen to our community so that I can learn how to be the ally that they deserve in the fight for justice\, including against anti-Black racism. \nMy substantive research interests center on how childhood family structures affect child wellbeing and the transition to adulthood. \nMy work to date is divided between comparative\, secondary data analyses on single parenting or cohabitation in Western Nations\, and an ongoing project in Cambodia\, which began in 2000 and is designed to study family change since the Khmer-Rouge period (1975-79). \nMethodologically\, I am interested in developing and estimating models centered on population dynamics to represent phenomena that are intertwined with demographic processes. To date\, the main applications have been on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Eastern Africa and on the death toll of the Khmers Rouges’ regime. \n

SUMMARY:Karen Benjamin Guzzo: CPC and the Future of Population Research
DESCRIPTION:On February 4\, 2022\, Karen Benjamin Guzzo\, Professor of Sociology at Bowling Green State University\, will present “CPC and the Future of Population Research” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nKaren Benjamin Guzzo received her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of North Carolina in 2003 and completed postdoctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania. She joined the faculty at Bowling Green State University in fall 2011. She serves as the Director of the Center for Family and Demographic Research\, and her work has been funded by the National Institutes of Health\, the National Science Foundation\, and the Department of Health and Human Services. Trained as a family demographer and sociologist\, most of her work examines what is considered “nontraditional” family behaviors. One line of research examines unintended fertility\, looking at trends over time as well as the antecedents and consequences of unplanned births. A related line of work looks at nonmarital childbearing and multipartnered fertility\, where individuals have children by different partners. Dr. Guzzo also studies trends in cohabitation\, which has become increasingly common in the United States\, but decreasingly likely to lead to marriage even as more cohabiting couples are raising children. Finally\, she is interested in the measurement of fertility and family behaviors.

SUMMARY:Michael Esposito: Historical redlining and contemporary disparities in neighborhood life expectancy
DESCRIPTION:On March 4\, 2022\, Michael Esposito\, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis\, will present “Historical redlining and contemporary disparities in neighborhood life expectancy” as part of the Carolina Population Center’s 2021-2022 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \n\nProfessor Esposito’s research focuses on understanding the production of racialized disparities in population health. \n\n\nDr. Esposito investigates how broad\, racialized social systems – and their constituent institutions – are configured in ways that layer privileges on white populations and hazards on BIPOC populations. His research ultimately seeks to understand how these systematically-distributed privileges and penalties arrive on population health. \nThis work includes studies that examine how the actions of race-cognizant institutions (e.g.\, law enforcement agencies) contribute to health disparities; research that considers how multiple racialized systems overlap to gate access to generative health contexts; and\, projects which demonstrate how structural racism enters and distorts social processes that are foundational to well-being (e.g.\, the association among education and health). \nDr. Esposito uses contemporary statistical methods – Bayesian and counterfactual-based mediation approaches at the moment – across his work.  Esposito’s research has appeared in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences; American Journal of Sociology; American Journal of Public Health and more.

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.

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

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.
