DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are proposing an application to support the Penn CMU Roybal P30 Center on Behavioral Economics and Health Symposium to be held spring 2012 at the University of Pennsylvania. This initiative is motivated by the continued rise in health care costs and growing concern about the consequences of health related behaviors, including high rates of obesity, smoking, and medication non-adherence. In addition, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will increase the proportion of health insurance premiums that can be allocated to outcome-based financial incentives to at least 30%. All of these factors combine to increase interest in the use of behavioral economics as a tool to improving health behavior, and there are great opportunities to do innovative work in this area that could greatly affect health policy. The overall specific aim of the symposium is to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to discuss the many issues around behavioral economics and health and to identify new research directions which will help to catalyze more rapid development of the field by efficiently providing a mechanism for leading scholars to update each other about their work and to help with identification of clear gaps and directions which may be most promising. Specifically, we will [1] increase communication between research groups and institutions~ [2] communicate and disseminate new findings~ and [3] Bring together senior and junior researchers as a way to encourage seeking new research opportunities and collaborations. We expect 50 attendees, representing scholars, policy analysts, and practitioners from psychology, economics, law and medicine around the United States. Different from a typical conference format, we will not have attendees give formal presentations. Instead, we have opted for a more interactive format in which we will have small teams of attendees give group presentations. Attendees will be grouped according to research interest and instructed to develop a brief presentation highlighting~ 1) most important studies they or others have done~ and 2) what they see as the biggest questions in their area. Time will be allotted during the meeting for groups to convene and then each team will give a group presentation and lead a panel discussion with the audience. We believe that this format will maximize the amount of interaction among the attendees as well as allow for efficient dissemination of the most important research advances and outstanding questions. Furthermore, we will invite several key leaders from fields where behavioral economic interventions could make a big difference in population health (e.g., pharmacy benefits managers and employers) to allow for perspective on real-world applications of these interventions. Our main dissemination piece will be an Issue Brief which will translate key findings from the symposium into a policy-relevant newsletter that will be distributed to more than 4,000 policy and opinion leaders nationally. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The emerging field of behavioral economics provides a cutting edge solution to improve health behavior and contain health care costs. Currently, the field is at a nascent point where there are small pockets of scholars at a number of different institutions. Support to bring these scholars together to talk through the many issues and to identify new directions for the field will help to catalyze more rapid development of the field by making it clear to people what is known and which directions may be most promising in a way that will be much more efficient than having each researcher figure this out on his/her own.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们提议申请支持宾夕法尼亚大学CMU Roybal P30中心行为经济学和健康研讨会，该研讨会将于2012年春季在宾夕法尼亚大学举行。这一举措的动机是卫生保健费用的持续上升和对健康相关行为后果的日益关注，包括高肥胖率、吸烟率和药物依从性。此外，《患者保护和负担得起的医疗法案》将把可分配给基于结果的财政激励的医疗保险费比例提高到至少30%。所有这些因素结合在一起，增加了人们对使用行为经济学作为改善健康行为的工具的兴趣，在这一领域开展创新工作的机会很大，这可能会极大地影响卫生政策。研讨会的总体具体目标是汇集一个跨学科的学者小组，讨论有关行为经济学和健康的许多问题，并确定新的研究方向，这将有助于催化该领域更快的发展，有效地为领先的学者提供一个机制，使他们能够相互更新他们的工作，并帮助确定明确的差距和可能最有希望的方向。具体而言，我们将[1]增加研究小组和机构之间的交流~ b[2]交流和传播新发现~ b[3]将高级和初级研究人员聚集在一起，以鼓励寻求新的研究机会和合作。我们预计有50名与会者，代表来自美国各地的心理学、经济学、法律和医学的学者、政策分析师和实践者。与典型的会议形式不同，我们不会让与会者做正式的演讲。相反，我们选择了一种更具互动性的形式，我们将让小团队的与会者进行小组演示。与会者将根据研究兴趣分组，并被要求做一个简短的演讲，重点介绍：1)他们或其他人所做的最重要的研究；2)他们认为在他们的领域最重要的问题。会议期间将分配时间给小组召集，然后每个小组将进行小组演示，并与观众进行小组讨论。我们相信，这种形式将最大限度地增加与会者之间的互动，并允许最重要的研究进展和悬而未决的问题的有效传播。此外，我们将邀请行为经济干预可能对人口健康产生重大影响的领域的几位关键领导人（例如，药房福利管理人员和雇主），以便对这些干预措施的实际应用进行展望。我们的主要传播内容将是一份问题简报，它将把研讨会的主要发现转化为一份与政策相关的通讯，分发给全国4000多名政策和意见领袖。
