Health decision science provides structured\, transparent approaches to evaluating these tradeoffs and informing decisions in the face of constrained budgets for health care and public health. Dr. Pandya’s research applies and advances health decision science methods to make tradeoffs explicit in difficult health policy decisions. This talk will highlight selected research addressing clinical questions (e.g.\, how many adults in the US should receive statin therapy?)\, policy questions (e.g.\, which quality measures should be prioritized in acute stroke care?)\, and methodological questions (e.g.\, how can researchers weigh efficiency-equity tradeoffs?). \n\n\n\nThe Department of Health Policy and Management will host this event in hybrid format.

This idea\, named “mortality displacement\,” “harvesting\,” or “anticipation” gained increasing attention in the 1990s and 2000s\, with studies of air pollution\, heat waves\, and climate change\, and again in the 2020s with COVID. Pinning down whether the phenomenon is real or not has proved surprisingly difficult: many contradictory findings have been published. The most careful analyses (many done at HSPH) have discounted the phenomenon. Yet the concept endures in both academic writing and public discourse. This talk will explore the history of mortality displacement in an attempt to understand why the debates persist and what consequences the debates—and the concept itself—might have for public policy. \n\n\n\nBio: Trained in psychiatry and history of science\, David Jones teaches history of medicine\, medical ethics\, and social medicine at Harvard University. His research has ranged from the history of epidemics to heart disease\, cardiac therapeutics\, race\, air pollution\, and the health effects of the climate crisis. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n David Jones\, MD\, PhD \n \n Chair\, Department of the History of Science\, A.

The report offers a roadmap for eliminating exposure\, comprising strategic investments\, policy reforms and foundational public health practices like monitoring and surveillance that every country can use to address this crisis. \n\n\n\nRemoval of lead from gasoline reduced average blood lead levels globally but was not the only source of lead. Global lead consumption exceeded 12 million tons in 2022. Toxic emissions are routinely released from formal and informal lead mining\, smelting and recycling and contaminate adjacent communities.  Lead is found in a multitude of foodstuffs\, remedies\, low fire glazed pottery\, jewelry\, leaded residential paint and water pipes. One study estimated that 800 million children worldwide\, most living in low-middle income countries\, have blood lead levels known to affect learning\, behavior and later adult health. \n\n\n\nBut good news: fugitive emissions from lead mining and smelting can be controlled\, contaminated sites can be cleaned up\, and old lead mines can be permanently closed. Lead contamination of foodstuffs and leaded paint have been successfully regulated. Population-level blood lead surveillance\, together with studies of blood and environmental lead levels in areas with known lead contamination\, help countries and communities identify risks and monitor progress to eliminate the danger. And\, the costs of these interventions are far less than the costs of letting the exposure continue.  \n\n\n\nIn this seminar\, Dr. Brown will describe the current status of lead exposure with a focus on low and middle income countries\, the expected costs/benefits of eliminating exposure globally\, and the work that remains to be done. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker\n\n\n\nMary Jean Brown was on the faculty of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health from 2003-2026\, where she taught courses in public health practice. She retired as Chief of the Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch at CDC in 2006. Dr. Brown co-authored A World Without Lead: Paving the Path to a Healthy\, Productive Future and works regularly with domestic and international public health agencies and non-governmental organizations such as the World Health Organization UNICEF\, and Human Rights Watch on issues related to health and housing\, including developing policies to eliminate childhood lead poisoning. She has published more than 150 peer reviewed scientific articles\, commentaries\, and policy documents and conducted epidemiological studies of housing interventions for lead\, asthma\, and injuries in the United States and internationally.  \n\n\n\nDr. Brown received a Doctor of Science degree from the Harvard School of Public Health in 2000.  She received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from Boston College in 1982. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n Mary Jean Brown \n \n Adjunct Assistant Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarvard Chan NIEHS Center for Environmental Health\n\n\n\nDepartment of Environmental Health\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 URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/events/a-world-without-lead-exposure-pursuing-the-path-forward-with-mary-jean-brown-scd/ LOCATION:HSPH\, Bldg. 1\, 1302 and Zoom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Mary-Jean-Brown-Graphic-Simple.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260910T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260910T140000 DTSTAMP:20261012T175531 CREATED:20260827T172815Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260914T141319Z UID:111360006099-1789045200-1789048800@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:AI and humanitarian data: Evidence on reliability\, limits\, and human oversight DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOccupational & Environmental Medicine Grand Rounds\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Time \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Type \n\n\n\n Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Register Today \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the Department of Global Health and Population for this Brown Bag Seminar featuring Patrick Vinck\, PhD\, research director of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and associate professor at Harvard Medical School and Harvard T.H.

Yet observed prevalence may also reflect differences in symptom expression and reporting\, measurement\, and disease classification. Using migraine as a case study\, this talk explores how these processes may shape observed female–male differences and considers their broader implications for interpreting sex differences in disease.  \n\n\n\nBio: Tobias Kurth is Professor of Public Health and Epidemiology at Charité University Medical Center Berlin and Adjunct Professor of Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H.

As the 2030 milestone nears and the number of people living with HIV globally edges above 40 million\, this naturally raises the question “what comes after ‘the end’?” This seminar will review progress and persistent challenges in the global HIV response\, what programs have been impactful\, evidence on the evolving epidemiology and transmission dynamics\, and the implications of these changes for long-term control of the HIV epidemic\, opportunities and challenges to achieve impact with new interventions\, and strategies for monitoring and surveillance of sustained progress. \n\n\n\nSpeaker bio\n\n\n\nJeff Imai-Eaton\, PhD\, is an associate professor of epidemiology and associate director of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and a senior research fellow at the MRC Center for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College London.

Even in the top epidemiology journals\, fewer than half of studies using explicitly causal methods (g-methods or TMLE) state an explicitly causal question and fewer than half mention consistency and positivity. There is no reason that all such articles should not always include a causal question\, clearly-stated causal assumptions and supporting arguments for those assumptions. When a causal claim (however tentative or weak) is made in the absence of these\, I refer to this as “dark causal inference”: causal inference that is implied but not observable (in analogy to dark matter). There are many reasons dark causal inference is overwhelmingly abundant in epidemiology of which I will explore two: 1) our continuing misuse of the word “association” (and similar non-causal language) and 2) failing to teach students how to reason about causal inference when causal assumptions are not satisfied.     \n\n\n\nBio: Jeremy Labrecque is assistant professor of epidemiology and leader of the Causal Inference Group at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam\, the Netherlands. His two main current interests are: 1) reasoning about causal inference when causal assumptions are violated using tools such as quantitative bias analysis\, negative controls and causal triangulation and 2) increasing the uptake of causal inference among applied epidemiologists.  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n Jeremy Labrecque\, PhD\, MSc \n \n Assistant Professor\, Epidemiology and Causal Inference\, Erasmus MC\, Rotterdam\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDepartment of Epidemiology\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 URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/epidemiology/events/dark-causal-inference-why-most-causal-inference-in-epidemiology-is-invisible/ LOCATION:Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Jeremy-Labrecque-calendar-image-1200-x-800.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260923T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260923T140000 DTSTAMP:20261012T175532 CREATED:20260821T152713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260901T222400Z UID:111360006080-1790168400-1790172000@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Climate Change and Planetary Health Concentration Kickoff Lunch DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOccupational & Environmental Medicine Grand Rounds\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 Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Register Today \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClimate change\, air pollution\, and ecological degradation have had extreme impacts on the health of our planet.

This seminar will highlight two large trials from our research program that used rigorous and innovative designs to improve HIV and HCV outcomes among PWID in India. The first\, the Integrated Care Center (ICC) trial\, evaluated a person-centered\, low-threshold model that delivered HIV\, HCV\, other infectious disease services\, substance use care\, and general medical care through a single population-focused center. Conducted across 22 Indian cities\, the cluster-randomized trial used stratified restricted randomization and respondent-driven sampling to recruit approximately 1\,000 participants per city for baseline and follow-up serosurveys. The second\, the STOP C trial\, evaluated adherence-support strategies for HCV treatment using a precision randomization approach among 3\,000 PWID across seven Indian cities. Participants were stratified by predicted risk of treatment failure and then randomized via an unbalanced allocation approach with those at elevated risk more likely to receive higher-intensity support and those at minimal risk more likely to receive lower-intensity support. Together\, these studies show how rigorous trial design can advance scalable\, person-centered approaches to HIV and HCV prevention and care among PWID. \n\n\n\nBio: Shruti H. Mehta\, PhD\, MPH is the Charles Armstrong Chair of the Department of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Technological Change and Relationships in Health Care DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOccupational & Environmental Medicine Grand Rounds\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 Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Register Today \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Wednesday\, September 30th\, the Center held the first installment in our new Trust and Well-being Seminar Series\, featuring Dr. Jodyn Platt. \n\n\n\n \n \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\nSeminar Description\n\n\n\nTrust is a complex system. It operates ecologically across relationships between individuals\, communities\, institutions\, and networks. This seminar takes up health care in the U.S.\, where trustworthiness is a foundational principle as well as a longstanding question of authenticity and sustainability. Over the past decade\, the accelerating use of health information technologies\, including AI\, has amplified those questions. In our national surveys and deliberations\, most U.S. adults report low trust in health systems’ use of AI\, and want notification they rarely receive. These attitudes align more closely with general trust in the health system than with beliefs about the technology itself\, underscoring trust as a feature of an open system. We will consider how systemic trust relates to interpersonal trust\, what trustworthiness requires when relationships are mediated by systems that remain opaque to the people they aim to serve\, and how trust might be renegotiated rather than succumb to erosion. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Biography\n\n\n\nDr. Jodyn Platt serves as Associate Professor of Learning Health Sciences\, University of Michigan Medical School\, and Associate Professor of Health Management and Policy\, University of Michigan School of Public Health. Her work explores how data and technology can be used responsibly to improve health while earning and sustaining public trust. Trained in medical sociology and health policy\, she studies the ethical\, social\, and policy questions that arise as health systems become more data-driven and powered by artificial intelligence. \n\n\n\nFrom 2021 to 2024\, she served as the inaugural Senior Scholar in Residence with AcademyHealth and the ABIM Foundation. Dr. Platt works closely with patients\, communities\, and healthcare organizations to understand how people think about and experience data use in health and medicine. By combining diverse research methods and community insight\, her goal is to turn evidence into actionable strategies that help make healthcare policy and practice more trustworthy\, transparent\, and inclusive. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n Dr. Jodyn Platt \n \n Associate Professor\, University of Michigan Medical School\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 URL:https://hsph.harvard.edu/health-happiness/events/trust-well-being-with-dr-jodyn-platt/ LOCATION:FXB G13\, 677 Huntington Ave\, Boston\, Massachusetts\, 02115 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hsph.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Copy-of-Virtues-for-Well-being-Seminar-Speakers-3.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260930T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260930T140000 DTSTAMP:20261012T175532 CREATED:20260903T170828Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260904T025223Z UID:111360006109-1790773200-1790776800@hsph.harvard.edu SUMMARY:Making our science easier to understand: Environmental health literacy basics for researchers DESCRIPTION:Home / Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOccupational & Environmental Medicine Grand Rounds\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 Lectures/Seminars/Forums\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Register Today \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis first workshop of a two-part series offered by the NIEHS Center Science Communications Hub will provide an introduction to environmental health literacy and developing communications approaches to reach a wide variety of audiences.
