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）：我们提出了一项申请，以支持Penn CMU Roybal P30行为经济学和健康专题讨论会将于2012年春季在宾夕法尼亚大学举行。这项倡议是出于医疗保健成本的持续上涨以及对与健康相关行为的后果的持续上升，包括高肥胖，吸烟和药物不遵守的后果。 此外，《患者保护和负担得起的护理法》将增加可分配给基于结果的财务激励措施至少30％的健康保险费的比例。 所有这些因素结合在一起，以增加对使用行为经济学作为改善健康行为的工具的兴趣，并且在这一领域有很大的创新工作可能会极大地影响健康政策。研讨会的总体具体目的是将一个跨学科的学者组汇集在一起​​，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，这将有助于通过有效地为彼此提供有关其工作的彼此更新的机制来促进该领域的快速发展，并帮助他们的工作更新，并帮助确定最明智的缺口和指示，这是最有希望的。具体来说，我们将[1]增加研究小组和机构之间的沟通〜[2]沟通并传播新发现〜和[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，来自美国心理学，经济学，法律和医学的学者，政策分析师和从业者有50名参加者。与典型的会议格式不同，我们不会让与会者进行正式演讲。取而代之的是，我们选择了一种更具互动式的格式，在该格式中，我们将有小团队进行小组演讲。 与会者将根据研究兴趣对与会者进行分组，并指示进行简短的演讲，以突出显示〜1）他们或其他人所做的最重要的研究〜和2）他们认为是该地区最大的问题。会议期间将分配时间召集小组召集，然后每个团队将进行小组演讲，并与观众进行小组讨论。 我们认为，这种格式将最大程度地提高与会者之间的互动量，并允许有效地传播最重要的研究进展和杰出的问题。 此外，我们将邀请一些领域的主要领导者，这些领域的行为经济干预措施可能会对人口健康（例如，药房福利经理和雇主）产生很大的影响，以允许对这些干预措施的现实应用应用。我们的主要传播文章将是一个问题摘要，该摘要将把关键发现从研讨会转化为与政策相关的新闻通讯，该通讯将在全国范围内分发给4,000多名政策和意见领导者。 公共卫生相关性：行为经济学的新兴领域为改善健康行为和遏制医疗保健成本提供了最先进的解决方案。 当前，该领域处于一个新生的地方，那里有许多不同机构的学者小口袋。支持将这些学者聚集在一起讨论许多问题并确定该领域的新方向，将有助于催化人们对现场的更快发展，使人们清楚地知道已知的内容，哪些方向可能是最有前途的，这种方式比让每个研究人员都认为这是更有效的。
