SUMMARY:The Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved
DESCRIPTION:The AACR Cancer Health Disparities conferences advance the understanding and\, ultimately\, help to eliminate the disparities in cancer that represent a major public health problem in our country. \nBy promoting the exchange of novel ideas and information between a wide range of professionals from academia\, industry\, government\, and the community\, these conferences harness the potential and maximize the many opportunities for bringing research on health disparities from bench to bedside or community\, and back again. \nThe goals of these conferences have been to bring together scientists and other professionals working in a variety of disciplines to discuss the latest findings in the field and to stimulate the development of new research in cancer health disparities. \nFollow on Twitter: #AACRdisp17 \nSee the program.

SUMMARY:State\, Local\, Tribal\, and Territorial Response to Large-Scale Biological Events
DESCRIPTION:The nation continues to confront infectious disease events and the threat of biological terrorism. This meeting of the Study Panel\, chaired by former Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala and former Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge\, will provide the Study Panel with a better understanding of the ability of state\, local\, tribal\, and territorial (SLTT) governments to: \n\nRespond to large-scale biological events\,\nIdentify and utilize SLTT assets and resources for immediate response (prior to a declaration of a SLTT biological emergency or disaster)\,\nOperate before federal assistance arrives and after federal resources are exhausted\, and\nShift to population management when a biological event overcomes pre-hospital and hospital response protocols.\n\nSLTT government officials\, federal and academic representatives\, and subject matter experts will discuss their perspectives\, experiences\, and challenges in this regard. Download Agenda

SUMMARY:World Anti-Microbial Resistance Congress
DESCRIPTION:Since its start in 2015\, World Anti-Microbial Resistance Congress has set out to provide a platform for change on both the scientific and economic sides of the antimicrobial resistance space. Few other conferences in this area focus on both of these vitally important facets of the AMR issue and bring the leaders from each area together in one place to take steps toward finding collaborative solutions that optimize the best of both worlds.  \nThe World AntiMicrobial Resistance Congress gathers key stakeholders from government\, funding agencies\, pharma\, academia\, hospitals\, and payers to discuss the answers to all of these questions and more. The AMR review presented the world with a series of recommendations on how best to tackle AMR; now it is up to the stakeholders in these industries to come together and facilitate the implementation of these actions. \nThis conference presents solutions through key notes\, case study presentations\, expert opinion\, roundtable discussions and invites key influencers such as BARDA\, NIH\, FDA\, grant agencies\, pharma\, hospitals\, and academia\, in the AMR discussion.

SUMMARY:New administration\, new approach to Medicaid waivers?
DESCRIPTION:The Trump administration has told states to expect “more freedom to design programs that meet the spectrum of diverse needs of their Medicaid population.” Section 1115 Medicaid demonstration waivers have been available to states as long as the program has existed\, but each administration takes its own approach to assessing waiver requests.  \nThis presentation will give attendees an understanding of the Medicaid waiver landscape heading into a busy fall\, when precedent-setting decisions are expected on several states’ proposals. Speakers will discuss the kinds of flexibility states have asked for – and are likely to ask for in the coming months and years – and how these changes may affect Medicaid beneficiaries\, state budgets\, and the future of the ACA coverage discussion. \nWhen:\nThursday\, Sept. 14; 1:30-2:45 p.m. ET \nRegister in advance. \nFeaturing:\n\n\nMatt Salo\, executive director\, National Association of Medicaid Directors \n\n\nCindy Mann\, partner\, Manatt Health \n\n\nJohn McCarthy\, founding partner\, Speire Healthcare Strategies \n\n\nJake Harper\, reporter\, WFYI and Side Effects Public Media \n\n\nKarl Eisenhower of the Alliance for Health Policy will moderate the discussion. \n\n\nFollow the webcast on Twitter: #AllHealthLive \nThis webinar is a collaboration between the Alliance for Health Policy and the Association of Health Care Journalists.

SUMMARY:Responsible\, accurate reporting on addiction
DESCRIPTION:Resources \n\nRecorded webcast\n\nPresentation \n\n\nNational Institute of Mental Health \n\n\nNational Council for Behavioral Health \n\n\nCovering addiction and recovery \n\n\nWhite House memo on “Changing the language of addiction” (Jan. 9\, 2017) \n\n\nFacing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol\, Drugs\, and Health (2016) \n\n\nTo receive press announcements from the National Council for Behavioral Health\, send an email to tara@healthjournalism.org \n\n\n \n\nAug. 24 at noon ET/9 a.m. PT\nReporting on addiction can be challenging because there are so many facets to the big picture and so many pitfalls resulting from stigma about addiction. \nSometimes stories don’t focus enough on withdrawal and recovery aspects of addiction. Sometimes an article inadvertently reinforces stereotypes or stigmatizing misconceptions\, such as portraying addiction as a moral failing rather than a chronic disease. \nThis webcast\, featuring Tom Hill\, M.S.W.\, vice president of addiction and recovery\, National Council for Behavioral Health\, will review some of the pitfalls that can occur in reporting on addiction and how to avoid them\, including being conscientious about the language used in stories. We also will touch on the science of addiction and what treatments have been successful in treating it. \nTara Haelle\, AHCJ’s topic leader for medical studies\, will moderate the webcast\, which will include time for questions from AHCJ members. \nHow to participate\n» Please use this diagnostic test page to be sure you’re set up correctly to enter the webcast. \nClick here\, choose the “Enter as a Guest” option\, type in your name and click on the “Enter Room” option. \nThis event is exclusively for AHCJ members so you will need your website login and password. If you don’t have that\, please visit this page and enter your email address to have an access key sent to you. \n\n\n\nTom Hill began at the National Council for Behavioral Health in March 2017\, serving as vice president of addiction and recovery. Hill previously served as a presidential appointee in the position of senior advisor on addiction and recovery to the SAMHSA Administrator. As part of this post\, he initially served as acting director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. Prior to his appointment\, he was a senior associate at Altarum Institute\, serving as technical assistance director for a number of SAMHSA treatment and recovery support grant initiatives. He served for four years as director of programs at Faces & Voices of Recovery. Hill’s personal experience of recovery from addiction spans over two decades. Reflecting his commitment to the goal of long-term recovery for individuals\, families\, and communities\, Hill has also served on numerous boards of directors\, advisory boards\, committees\, and task force/working groups. He is the recipient of numerous awards including the Johnson Institute America Honors Recovery Award\, the NALGAP Advocacy Award\, and a Robert Wood Johnson Fellowship in the Developing Leadership in Reducing Substance Abuse initiative. \n\n\n \n\nTom Hill \n\n\nTara Haelle
