Much of health research seeks to improve health by focussing on the new – new treatments, new evidence etc. In contrast, health decision science seeks to improve health by improving the choices made with available evidence – recognizing uncertainty, complexity, competing values, tradeoffs and cognitive biases can frequently lead to decision errors.
Presenter Nick Bansback will take us through examples of how decision errors that lead to poor choices in our day to day lives, and translate these into areas where decision science has the potential to improve health.
SCHEDULE:
Doors open 5:30. Come have a snack, say hello, get comfortable.
Presentation begins at 6:00PM. There will be time for questions and discussion after, and we’ll wrap up at 7:00!
