SUMMARY:CANCELED: Teresa Seeman: Aging Trajectories Through Biopsychosocial Lens
DESCRIPTION:Due to Hurricane Dorian\, this week’s interdisciplinary research seminar series lecture has been canceled. Please visit https://www.cpc.unc.edu/events/2019-2020-interdisciplinary-research-seminars for the latest news about the 2019-2020 seminar series.\nOn Friday\, September 6\, Teresa Seeman will present “Aging Trajectories Through Biopsychosocial Lens” as part of the Carolina Population Series 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nTeresa Seeman\, PhD\, is Professor of Epidemiology at the Fielding School of Public Health and of Medicine in the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Trained as an epidemiologist\, with post-doctoral training in neuroendocrinology\, her research interests are inter-disciplinary\, focusing on role of social and psychological factors in health and aging\, with particular interest in elucidating the biological pathways through which such factors impact on health. Working in both community- and laboratory-based contexts\, her work has documented the widespread health effects of protective social factors (e.g.\, social relationships) and psychological characteristics (e.g.\, control beliefs\, perceptions of self-efficacy)\, including effects on risks for physical and cognitive decline as well as overall longevity.  Her research has also contributed to our understanding of how these social and psychological influences are mediated through multiple major biological regulatory systems. She has been a leader in empirical research on a multi-systems view of biological risk – allostatic load. Her work has shown that levels of allostatic load predict subsequent health outcomes\, and that differences in allostatic load are related to social factors\, including levels of social integration and support as well as more traditional measures of socio-economic status [SES]:  higher allostatic load seen among those reporting less social integration and/or support and lower SES.  Her current research is focused on developing more integrated models that incorporate consideration of life-course experiences with stressful and protective conditions and the cumulative impacts of these experiences on major biological regulatory systems that determine trajectories of health and longevity. \nThe Carolina Population Center hosts a weekly Friday lecture on a topic that enhances our understanding of population-related changes. The 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminars will feature talks related to aging trajectories\, health behavior\, the Zika virus\, and the beverage tax – among other topics. \nAll seminars are held from 12:00 – 1:00 pm in Carolina Square Room 2002 at 123 W. Franklin St. unless otherwise indicated. \nInstructors: To arrange for class attendance\, contact CPC (cpc@unc.edu) by the Monday before the seminar. Streaming may be available and must be arranged at least one week in advance.

SUMMARY:Jessica Faul: Where Do We Go from Here? Incorporating Genetics into Social Science and Health Research in the GWAS Era
DESCRIPTION:On 9/13/2019\, Jessica Faul will present “Where Do We Go from Here? Incorporating Genetics into Social Science and Health Research in the GWAS Era” as part of the Carolina Population Series 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series.\nDr. Faul studies health and cognitive functioning\, health disparities\, and the integration of genetic and social science data in health research. She has worked with HRS core and restricted data files\, examining genetic\, gene-environment\, and socioeconomic determinants of health and using longitudinal modeling and time-varying predictors of health outcomes. \nSeminar abstract:  \nThere has been a significant increase in the number of population-based and social-science surveys adding genetic data over the last decade. This has dramatically expanded the reach of these studies by making rich phenotypic data of interest to researchers from a wide variety of disciplines in the biological and health sciences. The expansion of population-based phenotypic\, environmental and genomic data\, plus the growing interest in integrating the behavioral and social sciences with biology\, has the incredible potential for cutting edge science. Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genes with significant and replicated evidence of association with cognitive and physical function measures\, longevity\, obesity\, health behaviors\, and educational attainment\, to name a few; however\, the size of the genetic effects found to date\, while increasing\, explain only a fraction of trait variability.  So where do we go next? This talk will focus on what we’ve learned from the GWAS era\, provide research-based examples of theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches for integrating social and genomic data that move beyond GWAS\, and will conclude with a discussion of what hurdles remain and what the future may hold for genetic research in a social science context including a discussion of issues related to biological data collection in a field setting. \nThe Carolina Population Center hosts a weekly Friday lecture on a topic that enhances our understanding of population-related changes. The 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminars will feature talks related to aging trajectories\, health behavior\, the Zika virus\, and the beverage tax – among other topics. \nAll seminars are held from 12:00 – 1:00 pm in Carolina Square Room 2002 at 123 W. Franklin St. unless otherwise indicated.

SUMMARY:Stephanie Martin: Engaging Family Members to Support Maternal and Child Nutrition
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, September 20\, Stephanie Martin will present “Engaging Family Members to Support Maternal and Child Nutrition” as part of the Carolina Population Series 2019-2020 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. \nStreaming information: Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/807016500 \nStephanie Martin is an assistant professor of Nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with more than 15 years’ experience designing and implementing behavioral interventions in low-income countries. Dr. Martin’s research focuses on the evaluation of behavioral interventions to improve maternal and child nutrition\, implementation research to facilitate the translation of global recommendations into effective programs\, and mixed-methods research to examine barriers and facilitators to infant and young child care and feeding practices.She is particularly interested in behavioral interventions to increase social support\, and is currently examining family members’ experiences supporting women for improved maternal and child nutrition in Kenya and Tanzania. As a global health practitioner\, Dr. Martin implemented policy-\, facility- and community-level programs\, and developed dozens of training and communication materials to promote maternal\, child and adolescent health and nutrition\, as well as HIV prevention\, care and treatment. \nThe Carolina Population Center hosts a weekly Friday lecture on a topic that enhances our understanding of population-related changes.
