Her observations about the coverage in the past\, and how it might look different in the future\, are timely as we come up on the 10th anniversary of the ACA in March. \n\n\nSarah Gollust\, Ph.D.\, associate professor\, health policy and management\, University of Minnesota School of Public Health \n\n\nModerator: Joanne Kenen\, AHCJ topic leader/health reform \n\n\nAn associate professor at the University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health\, Sarah Gollust has examined how the media translates health information\, how it shapes public attitudes and influences health policymaking. Looking at political\, social\, ethical\, and psychological factors\, her research yields insight into how communication to the public and policymakers can be more effective. In addition to looking at the Affordable Care Act\, she has also studied media and obesity\, food and nutrition\, health disparities\, and cancer screening and prevention. Gollust studied biology as an undergraduate at Wesleyan before going on to get her doctorate at the University of Michigan. She was also a pre-doctoral fellow in bioethics at the NIH’s\, National Human Genome Research Institute. She’s been at the University of Minnesota since 2010. \n\nSarah Gollust \n\n\nJoanne Kenen URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/aeoeobamacareae%c2%9d-at-10-thinking-about-the-coverage/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200227T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200228T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T155126Z CREATED:20231025T162224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T155126Z UID:24366-1582765200-1582851600@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:A Reporter’s Guide to Adolescent Learning and Well-Being DESCRIPTION:Recent scientific advances have changed our understanding of the powerful role the adolescent years play in setting life trajectories. This critical period\, the bridge between childhood and becoming an adult\, is frequently misunderstood. \n“Although adolescence is often thought of as a time of turmoil and risk for young people\, it is more accurately viewed as a developmental period rich with opportunity for youth to learn and grow\,” declared a sweeping 2019 report from the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine. \nWhat are the implications of this evolving mindset for the education\, health and well-being of tweens\, teens and emerging adults? How are new findings informing efforts to shape settings for adolescents that are racially and culturally inclusive and equitable? This two-day seminar will offer journalists a primer on the brain research and springboard to an exploration of these questions and others facing the education and health sectors. \nEligible journalists may apply for scholarships to cover registration and reimburse expenses for lodging and basic travel costs. \nhttps://www.ewa.org/reporters-guide-adolescent-learning-and-well-being URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/a-reporteraes-guide-to-adolescent-learning-and-well-being/ CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
