Description of the talks:
Dr. Richardson will present a general introduction to system dynamics modeling,
including its history, purposes, principles, and methodology. Dr. Homer will describe
several applications of system dynamics to health issues, including CDC-sponsored models
on the growth of diabetes and obesity, a model of hospital surge capacity, and a model of
cocaine use in the U.S. These models have supported goal setting, policy analysis,
resource needs analysis, theory development, and estimation of hard-to-measure quantities.
Sponsorship:
The 2007 Symposia Series on Systems Science and Health is sponsored by The NIH Office of
Behavioral and Social Sciences Research and CDC's Syndemics Prevention Network with support from
the following NIH components: Division of Nutrition Research Coordination, Fogarty International Center,
National Institute for Child Health and Human Development, National Institute for General Medical Sciences,
and the National Cancer Institute.
