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)：我们正在申请支持2012年春季在宾夕法尼亚大学举行的宾夕法尼亚州立大学罗伊巴尔P30行为经济学和健康中心研讨会。这一倡议的动机是医疗保健成本的持续上升以及对与健康相关的行为的后果的日益关注，这些行为包括高肥胖率、吸烟率和不坚持用药。此外，患者保护和平价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%。所有这些因素加在一起，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，而且在这一领域进行创新工作的机会很大，这可能会对卫生政策产生重大影响。研讨会的总体具体目标是聚集一个跨学科的学者小组，讨论围绕行为经济学和健康的许多问题，并确定新的研究方向，这些研究方向将通过有效地提供一种机制，使领导学者相互更新他们的工作，并帮助确定可能最有希望的明确差距和方向，从而有助于催化该领域更快的发展。具体地说，我们将[1]加强研究小组和机构之间的沟通~[2]交流和传播新的发现~并[3]将资深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。我们预计将有50人出席，代表美国各地的学者、政策分析师和从业者，他们来自心理学、经济学、法律和医学。与典型的会议形式不同，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性的形式，在这种形式下，我们将让小组与会者进行小组演示。与会者将根据研究兴趣进行分组，并被指导制作一份简短的演示文稿，重点介绍~1)他们或其他人所做的最重要的研究~和2)他们认为自己所在领域最大的问题。会议期间将分配时间让小组开会，然后每个小组将进行小组陈述，并与观众进行小组讨论。我们认为，这种形式将最大限度地增加与会者之间的互动，并允许有效地传播最重要的研究进展和悬而未决的问题。此外，我们将邀请来自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，药房福利经理和雇主)，以允许对这些干预措施在现实世界中的应用进行展望。我们的主要宣传材料将是一份问题简报，它将把专题讨论会的主要结论转化为一份与政策有关的通讯，分发给全国4000多名政策和舆论领袖。 公共健康相关性：行为经济学的新兴领域为改善健康行为和控制医疗成本提供了一种尖端解决方案。目前，这一领域正处于初级阶段，许多不同机构的学者寥寥无几。支持将这些学者聚集在一起讨论许多问题，并为该领域确定新的方向，这将有助于促进该领域更快速的发展，因为人们清楚地知道哪些是已知的，哪些方向可能是最有希望的，这种方式将比由每个研究人员自己解决这一问题效率高得多。
