SUMMARY:Trust & Well-being with Dr. David Bersoff
DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Science of Sustainable Giving: How Empathy and Generosity Support Health and Flourishing\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n	From Around the School\, Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Wednesday\, November 4th from 1-1:50 PM in FXB G12 and online\, please join us for the second installment in our Trust and Well-being Seminar Series\, featuring Dr. David Bersoff.  \n\n\n\nAll are welcome. Lunch provided.  \n\n\n\n\nRSVP TODAY\n\n\n\n\nSeries Theme\n\n\n\nThis seminar series will explore the role of trust in promoting psychological\, physical\, and social well-being. At a time of declining trust in institutions\, political polarization\, fear-based public discourse\, and rapidly changing technologies that shape how people encounter information and one another\, the series will consider trust not only as an individual experience but also as a central feature of collective well-being. Through conversations with leading scholars and practitioners\, we will examine how trust is defined and measured across diverse social and cultural contexts; how it functions across relationships\, communities\, institutions\, and generations; and how it is built\, maintained\, broken\, and repaired. \n\n\n\nThe series will also explore how social\, political\, commercial\, and cultural factors shape trust\, with particular attention to health equity and the histories of exclusion\, discrimination\, disinvestment\, and institutional harm that influence whether communities feel able to trust systems. Together\, we will consider how trust and trustworthiness can promote safety\, belonging\, resilience\, civic participation\, health-promoting behaviors\, and flourishing while helping to build more connected\, equitable\, and resilient communities and systems. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Biography\n\n\n\nDr. David Bersoff is the Head of Research for the Edelman Trust Institute\, Edelman’s think tank dedicated to advancing the study of trust in society. As the Institute’s Chief Trust Scientist\, Dr. Bersoff is responsible for ensuring the quality\, integrity\, and scientific value of all of Edelman’s trust-oriented research\, which includes the annual Trust Barometer\, the biggest and longest running global study of institutional trust\, as well as yearly topical studies examining issues such as climate change\, trust in the healthcare system\, trust in the workplace\, trust in brands\, and racial justice. He also oversees all of the Trust Institute’s external research projects done in partnership with other academic\, social policy\, and philanthropic institutions. \n\n\n\nPrior to joining Edelman in 2016\, Dr. Bersoff spent 17 years as a consumer insights and marketing strategy consultant at The Futures Company (nee Yankelovich). In his last 5 years with the organization\, he served as its Chief Insights Officer and was a member of its global board of directors. In that role\, he ran the Global Insights Group and drove the research\, data analysis\, IP creation and product development strategy for all of their syndicated consumer insights offers. In addition to his background in IP development and insights product management\, Dr. Bersoff has also served as a trusted advisor and marketing/brand strategy consultant to major clients in industries as diverse as financial services\, automotive\, media\, professional organizations\, energy\, and the military. \n\n\n\nBefore entering the consulting world\, Dr. Bersoff spent 12 years engaged in social science research at Yale and the University of Pennsylvania\, where he was an assistant professor of social psychology and research methodology and served on its IRB. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Dr. David Bersoff						\n					\n				Head of Research\, Edelman Trust Institute\n			\n			\n												\n	\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Kum Sheung Center for Health and Happiness\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

SUMMARY:Works In Progress Seminar: Wenxin Zhang & Salome Kuchukhidze
DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Science of Sustainable Giving: How Empathy and Generosity Support Health and Flourishing\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	From Around the School\, Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Wednesday\, November 11th for the Department of Epidemiology works-in-progress seminar series featuring Wenxin Zhang (advisor: Yuan Ma) and Salome Kuchukhidze (advisor: Jeff Imani-Eaton). \n\n\n\nWenxin Zhang \n\n\n\nTitle: Cardiovascular Contributions to Cognitive Impairment and Dementia: The Flip Side  \n\n\n\nAbstract: Cardiovascular disease is a major contributor to cognitive impairment and dementia. Yet dementia develops over a long prodromal period\, during which subtle vascular cognitive changes may emerge years before clinical onset of cardiovascular disease\, long before dementia is diagnosed. Could detecting the early subclinical cognitive impairment signal cardiovascular vulnerability and open a window for earlier prevention of both cardiovascular and cognitive outcomes? In this talk\, Dr. Zhang will present recent work examining the extent to which global and domain-specific cognitive function\, assessed in mid-to-late adulthood\, predicts incident cardiovascular disease beyond traditional risk factors across high-risk clinical cohorts and community-based general populations. The findings suggest that a brief processing-speed test may capture vascular vulnerability not reflected in conventional risk assessment and could help refine cardiovascular risk stratification in older adults.   \n\n\n\nBio: Wenxin Zhang\, MBBS\, PhD\, is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Epidemiology at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Zhang’s research lies at the intersection of cardiovascular and aging epidemiology\, with the goal of advancing the prevention of cardiovascular disease and dementia and promoting healthy aging. With expertise in preventive medicine and population health\, Dr. Zhang’s work focuses on identifying potentially modifiable factors and early markers that contribute to or predict the risk of cardiovascular disease\, stroke\, cognitive decline\, and dementia. His long-term goal is to inform clinical vascular risk management and develop scalable\, population-based strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias\, thereby extending healthspan and promoting healthy aging.  \n\n\n\nSalome Kuchukhidze \n\n\n\nTitle: Oral PrEP in South Africa: Evaluating the Impact on HIV Incidence During Pregnancy Using Routine Health Service Delivery Data  \n\n\n\nBio: Salome Kuchukhidze is an epidemiologist whose work examines how interpersonal and structural marginalization shape HIV risk and health outcomes globally. Her research focuses on gender-based drivers of HIV vulnerability among women and children\, and evaluates interventions designed to address these inequities. Currently\, Dr. Kuchukhidze is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, where her work leverages quasi-experimental methods to evaluate the impact of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis on HIV acquisition risk among pregnant and breastfeeding women in South Africa. Dr. Kuchukhidze holds a PhD in epidemiology from McGill University and an MPH from Boston University.   \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n							Wenxin Zhang					\n				Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Department of Epidemiology\, Harvard T.H.

SUMMARY:Causal Estimands for Clinical and Regulatory Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Science of Sustainable Giving: How Empathy and Generosity Support Health and Flourishing\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	From Around the School\, Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Wednesday\, December 2nd for the Department of Epidemiology seminar series featuring Dr. Miguel Hernan. \n\n\n\nAbstract: The estimand is what we want to estimate. When conducting research for clinical and regulatory purposes\, the causal estimand typically involves the causal effect of an intervention. Three frameworks have been proposed to describe the causal estimand in randomized trials and observational studies: PICO\, the target trial framework\, and the E9 (R1) Addendum of the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH). This talks provides a side-by-side comparison of these three estimand frameworks for causal inference\, translate across their terminologies\, and highlight their commonalities and peculiarities. For decision makers who ask causal questions\, the target trial framework subsumes the other two frameworks by providing the most flexibility and level of detail. \n\n\n\nBio: Miguel Hernán is the Director of CAUSALab\, the Kolokotrones Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, and faculty at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology. His team repurposes real world data into actionable evidence for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases\, cancer\, cardiovascular disease\, and mental illness. Their work has contributed to shape health research methodology worldwide. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n\n	\n		\n						\n							Miguel Hernan\, MD\, DrPH						\n					\n				Kolokotrones Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology\, Department of Epidemiology\, Director\, CAUSALab\, Harvard T.H.
