NIA Expert Meeting on Pathways and Mechanisms Linking Behavioral and Social Factors to Health
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In 2013, the Division of Behavioral and Social Research (BSR) underwent a review by the National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA) to evaluate the overall impact of research supported by the Division and make recommendations for future investments. A key recommendation was that BSR leverage both its data resources and new study designs to gain mechanistic insights on the pathways linking behavioral and social factors to health and mortality. BSR contracted with The National Academy of Sciences Board on Behavioral, Cognitive and Sensory Sciences to conduct an expert meeting in Washington, DC, on May 30, 2014 to explore this topic, including opportunities for using BSR-supported biosocial surveys to advance this agenda. This report provides a summary of discussions at that meeting.
