SUMMARY:EPI/BIOS VIRTUAL FORUM\, FALL 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Epidemiology and Biostatistics Department presents the Epi-Bios Forum on the first Wednesday of the month. The Forum usually includes one long presentation by an invited speaker\, often a faculty member from our school or someone we collaborate with\, followed by a short presentation of research by an SPH student who is collaborating with a faculty member. \nThe role of the epidemiologist in multidisciplinary evaluation research: findings from a mixed methods evaluation of an advocacy training program for physicians. \nKeynote Speaker: Heidi Jones\, PhD \nProfessor Heidi Jones will present results from a three year mixed methods evaluation of a 9-month training program for physicians in the US to hone their skills as effective advocates for sexual and reproductive health care. She and Diana Romero (co-PI) led a multidisciplinary team at CUNY SPH. The study design included in-depth interviews\, observation of training sessions\, a cross-sectional survey of program alumni\, and a randomized trial for one year of applicants. Prof. Jones will present key findings from the evaluation\, and discuss the potential role for the epidemiologist in program evaluations. \nTelomere length and mortality risk among adults in the United States: The role of age and race/ethnicity \nStudent Speaker: Hanish Kodali (Epi PhD candidate) \nUsing the 2015 Public-use linked Mortality Files\, the most recent data released in February 2019 by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention\, the study aimed to examine whether leucocyte telomere length is associated with all-cause\, cardiovascular (CVD)- and cancer- specific mortality risks in US adults; and whether these associations vary with age groups across racial/ethnic groups. Our findings showed that increase in leucocyte telomere length was associated with lower all-cause and CVD-specific mortality rates among U.S. adults aged 25 years or older. These associations were observed regardless of how telomere length was specified\, continuous or categorical. All-cause mortality rates for each racial/ethnic group differed with age group. \n
