SUMMARY:CHDS Seminar with Marissa Reitsma
DESCRIPTION:Home / 404\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarvard University Commencement Morning Exercises 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Center for Health Decision Science for a seminar with Marissa Reitsma from Stanford University\, titled\, “Integrated Interventions for Syndemics of Substance Use\, HIV\, and HCV.” Syndemics are interacting epidemics\, driven by social and structural factors\, which can concentrate excess disease burden among marginalized populations. Integrated interventions can more efficiently address syndemics\, including the syndemic of substance use disorder\, overdose\, HIV\, and hepatitis C virus among people who use drugs. We developed an agent-based model of this syndemic\, parameterized with real-world data\, to inform the design and delivery of integrated treatment and harm reduction interventions for people who use drugs. \n\n\n\nMarissa Reitsma is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Policy at Stanford University. Her research develops computational models to quantify disease burden\, evaluate the benefits and costs of interventions\, and support evidence-based policies across a range of priorities in population health. Ongoing work focuses on building multi-disease models to address syndemics and developing methods for multimodal data fusion. She is dedicated to partnering with clinicians and public health decision-makers to translate scholarly work into policy impact. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Marissa Reitsma\, PhD						\n					\n				Assistant Professor\, Health Policy\, Stanford University\n			\n			\n												\n	\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCenter for Health Decision Science\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n		\n			\n				\n					\n						Unleash your potential at Harvard Chan School.					\n					In addition to our degree programs\, we offer highly targeted programs through our Advanced Learning Academy\, directed and taught by Harvard faculty. \n											\n																															\n									\n										Degree Programs									\n								\n																															\n									\n										How to Apply									\n								\n																															\n									\n										Advanced Learning Academy
