Combining science, modeling, and public policy.
Estimating the ancillary public health consequences of GHG policies is a challenging task drawing upon expertise in economics, emission inventories, air pollution modeling, and public health.
Potential health impact issues discussed included the need for comprehensive, ongoing health and demographic data collection, risk modeling, and public awareness campaigns, as well as a stable funding mechanism for all these endeavors.
This proposal comes from an international team of researchers — in climate modeling, atmospheric chemistry, economics, agriculture and public health — who started off with a question that borders on heresy in some green circles: Could something be done about global warming besides forcing everyone around the world to use less fossil fuel?
"You see actors who are modeling and models who are acting," she said.
Data from our review can inform cost-effectiveness and modeling studies to define an investment case and public health strategy for controlling norovirus disease in anticipation of completion of vaccine development and licensure.
Economic assessments and modeling studies suggest that these programs yield cost savings and public health benefits.
When asked about their training needs, 89% of junior researchers indicated a need for training in "mathematical modeling" (under Epidemiology) and 86% in "organization, financing and delivery of health services and public health systems" (under Health Policy).
They also discuss the less-explored aspects in vehicular channel modeling, including modeling specific environments (e.g., tunnels, overpasses, and parking lots) and types of communicating vehicles (e.g., scooters and public transportation vehicles).
Author and public speaker, Valerie Ramsey, utilizes her cover photo with images of her book cover and two of her modeling images with a few keywords laid in to describe her.
Although used by statisticians for many years, FDA provides a relatively novel approach to modeling and prediction that is highly suitable for public health and biomedical applications.
