The Health Policy Statistics Section (HPSS) is pleased to announce its program for the 2011 Joint Statistical Meetings in Miami Beach, Florida. We have a packed program that covers a range of topics in health policy research and applications. HPSS is the primary sponsor for one short course, four invited sessions, five topic-contributed sessions, and six contributed sessions.
HPSS will present its usual Wednesday speaker luncheon, this year by Rod Little, who will give a talk titled “Calibrated Bayes, Models, and the Role of Randomization in Surveys and Experiments.” Additionally, HPSS is sponsoring several A.M. and P.M. roundtable discussions. These provide a great opportunity to learn about new topics while meeting others with similar interests. Be sure to register for the speaker luncheon or roundtables before the meeting or soon after arrival; tickets must be purchased at least 24 hours before the event, and roundtables often sell out.
The section mixer and business meeting will be held on August 1 from 5:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at Van Dyke Cafe and feature free food and drink, amiable company, and presentation of the HPSS student awards. HPSS members, organizers, speakers, discussants, and friends are invited.
The following events can be identified on the JSM online program by selecting “Section on Health Policy Statistics” as the sponsor.
