09/18/2008		Workarounds in Hospitals: Impact on Nurses and Patients J. Halbesleben View description Workarounds are idiosyncratic solutions to perceived blocks in work flow. While they are widely acknowledged by health care professionals, there remains relatively little research on the impact that they have on health care professionals and patients. This talk summarizes a AHRQ- and NIOSH-funded stream of research examining how workarounds influence patient safety and nurse safety and occupational health. Through both quantitative and qualitative research designs, our research echoes significant concerns about patient safety from the literature, particularly in the medication process. Moreover, our research extends the literature by finding that workarounds can also lead to high levels of stress and increase risk of occupational injuries for nurses. In addition to sharing our findings, I discuss the implications of our findings for work design and patient safety.

10/29/2007		Beyond Knowledge Gaps: Media Campaigns and Socioeconomic Disparities in Health Behavior J. Niederdeppe View description Large-scale media campaigns are associated with reductions in a variety of unhealthy behaviors, including cigarette smoking. The prevalence of smoking among US adults has steadily declined over the past 40 years. Despite the overall reductions in adult smoking, disparities in smoking rates by socioeconomic status (SES) have increased dramatically over this time period. This presentation proposes a conceptual model to describe how media campaigns might lead to differences in smoking cessation between groups, reviews literature on the effectiveness of media interventions to promote smoking cessation among low SES populations, and presents data from a longitudinal study of smoking cessation media campaign effects on smoking cessation in Wisconsin. There is considerable evidence that media interventions to promote smoking cessation are often less effective, sometimes equally effective, and rarely more effective among disadvantaged populations relative to more advantaged populations. Disparities in the effectiveness of media interventions between SES groups may occur at any of three stages: differences in meaningful exposure, differences in motivational response, or differences in opportunity to sustain long-term cessation. I conclude with thoughts on how communication theory could be used to reduce health disparities through policy changes that address social and structural determinants of health.

09/10/2007	Coming Soon	Reinventing Public Health: Translating Research on the Fundamental Determinants of Health into Population Health-Centered Policy L. Aday View description This presentation introduces a framework for identifying, arraying, and evaluating the evidence regarding the fundamental social, economic, and ecological determinants of population health and health disparities; explores the role of related development policies in influencing these fundamental determinants; and suggests alternative models of more health-centered policy and program design incorporating a consideration of the fundamental determinants of health. The vision for reinventing public health is grounded in the concept of a “healthy republic” – in which public decision making takes into account the impacts of policies related to fundamental determinants on the health of the populations targeted by these policies. The central thesis underlying the presentation is that to effectively improve population health and reduce health disparities, policymaking in a variety of domains must take into account policies that address the fundamental social, economic, and ecological determinants of health.

03/08/2007		Health, Science and the Precautionary Principle B. Barrett View description A 1998 Wingspread conference on the Precautionary Principle concluded that: "When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause-and-effect relationships are not fully established scientifically." "Threats of harm to human health" from lead in paint and gasoline were recognized as sufficient for strict regulation by many countries for about 50 years before the U.S. banned lead in paint and gasoline in the 1970s. In the interim, more than 10 million American children were exposed to hazardous lead levels now known to cause harm. We are currently in similar positions with mercury, dioxin, and other toxins, and by analogy, may be in a similar position in regards to global warming. Scientific certainty regarding causal pathways should not be required before protective measures can be put in place. Instead, known poisons should be recognized as threats, and appropriate protections should be mandated, as soon as reasonable likelihood of substantial harm is agreed upon by public health authorities.
