Description: Why We Need Systems Models to Understand Population Health and Health Disparities

The first annual Institute on Systems Science and Health (ISSH) was held May 3-8, 2009. It was produced and sponsored by the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in conjunction with the Syndemics Prevention Network at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Center for Social Epidemiology and Population Health and the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of Michigan hosted the weeklong event. The course was designed to give students a broad overview of systems science methodologies as well as hands on training in one of three specific systems science methodologies (agent-based modeling, system dynamics modeling, and network analysis). Forty-six learners were enrolled in the course and were selected through a competitive process. They ranged in educational level, from pre-doctoral to full professor, and represented a variety of disciplines. Thirty faculty and speakers provided education through lectures, exercises and discussions.
