SUMMARY:Bradford Hill Seminar: Making evidence credible for public health policy
DESCRIPTION:Bradford Hill Seminar\nMaking evidence credible for public health policy\nDr Kathryn Oliver\, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine \nLarge Seminar Room\, 1st Floor\, Institute of Public Health\, University Forvie Site\, Robinson Way\, Cambridge CB2 0SR \nAbstract \nDebates about the role of evidence in policymaking have tended to focus primarily on how to increase the influence of academic research evidence on policy. This approach to the role of knowledge in policy sidesteps the question of what types of knowledge are used and valued in policymaking\, and how different forms of knowledge may interact with policy. Drawing on 55 interviews with policymakers and academics\, I explore how personal/institutional characteristics and processes are judged to confer credibility to knowledge for policy in informal and formal contexts. Using the generation of credibility as a lens to understand the effects of these values on scientific and policy processes allows us to understand the broader strengths and limitations of different forms of knowledge within the policy arena. I explore the implications of these strengths and limitations of credible knowledge in policy practices\, and place our conclusions within a discussion of current approaches to understanding the role of knowledge in policymaking. I close with some reflections on the importance of transparent and reflexive policymaking and knowledge-generation practices\, and the implications of this for public health. \nThis talk is part of the Bradford Hill seminar series hosted by Cambridge Institute of Public Health.

SUMMARY:Seminar - The Economics of Infectious Disease - Flavio Toxvaerd\, Faculty of Economics\, University of Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar:\n \nThe Economics of Infectious Disease\nDr Flavio Toxvaerd\, Faculty of Economics\, University of Cambridge.\nMeeting Rooms 1&2\, Level 4\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus. \nWatch Dr Toxvaerd’s presentation on our YouTube channel.\nAbstract\nThis talk will give a self-contained introduction to the economics of infectious diseases. This is a growing field of interdisciplinary study which applies ideas from economics\, mathematical optimisation and game theory to the study and management of infectious diseases. The talk will first introduce the classical epidemiological models studied in public health and biology and then show how ideas from economics can be used in conjunction with the classical models to inform public health policies. \nAbout Dr Toxvaerd\nDr Flavio Toxvaerd is a University Lecturer at the Faculty of Economics\, University of Cambridge and a fellow of Clare College. His main research interests include microeconomic theory\, game theory and economic epidemiology. His research has been published in the Journal of Economic Theory\, the RAND Journal of Economics\, the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control and the Journal of Theoretical Biology. Outside of academia\, he has acted as a consultant for both the private and public sectors. He has also served as the Senior Economic Advisor to the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance (set up by HM Treasury and the Wellcome Trust). \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/
