DESCRIPTION:Systems science methods are powerful tools for understanding a
 nd addressing complex health and social problems. By capturing the interpl
 ay of multiple\, interacting factors\, these approaches can illuminate how
  population-level outcomes emerge over long time horizons and can be used 
 to rigorously compare policy implementation strategies in a simulated envi
 ronment before they are applied in the real world. \n\nDrawing on Dr Mair
 ’s research spanning alcohol use\, violence\, and community health\, thi
 s lecture illustrates how systems approaches—from agent-based models to 
 participatory systems science—can identify policy leverage points and in
 form more effective interventions. She will demonstrate how integrating mu
 ltiple systems science methods to examine the same problem deepens their a
 nalytical power and strengthens their relevance to policy and practice.\n\
 nThis is an Astor Visiting Lecture.
