Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Methods for Evaluating Natural Experiments in Obesity (Day 2)
Obesity is a major contributor to serious health conditions in children and adults. The prevalence of obesity in the United States and globally has grown rapidly in the last three decades; thus, there is a pressing need to help people achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Obesity is commonly defined as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30. In 2014, more than one-third (37.7%) of U.S. adults (Flegal, 2016 ) and 17% of U.S. children and young adults under the age of 20 (Ogden, 2016 ) met this definition, accounting for about 55% of the total U.S. population. There are also persistent disparities among ...

Medicine: Mind the Gap - The opportunities and challenges of using systematic reviews to summarize knowledge about “what works” in disease prevention and health promotions
Medicine Mind the Gap Seminar
Whether discussing priorities for comparative effectiveness research (CER) from a funder's or researcher’s perspective, understanding knowledge gaps, or setting guidelines for care, systematic reviews of existing research hold the promise of scientifically summarizing "what works" at any point in time. However, many of us are content to use nonsystematic methods to synthesize knowledge; non-systematic methods certainly use fewer resources, and in a given field experts believe they know the literature sufficiently to avoid the investment. Yet, by using a nonsystematic approach to summarizing...
