SUMMARY:Bradford Hill Seminar - Neighbourhood Disadvantage\, Everyday Urban Mobility\, and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the online Bradford Hill Seminar: \nNeighbourhood Disadvantage\, Everyday Urban Mobility\, and Well-Being\nProfessor Robert J Sampson\nHenry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University \nWatch a recording of this seminar \nAbstract\nThis presentation will review a series of findings and work in progress stemming from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighbourhoods (PHDCN) and Great American City: Chicago and the Enduring Neighbourhood Effect. I will focus primarily on the idea that a neighbourhood’s well-being depends not only on its own conditions\, as typically conceived\, but also the conditions of the neighbourhoods to which its residents are connected\, through networks of everyday urban mobility. Results and implications of mobility-based “triple disadvantage” for violence\, health\, and racial inequality will be discussed\, including in a comparative urban framework. Time permitting\, I will also briefly describe research linking individual\, neighbourhood\, and macrosocial change based on the multi-cohort longitudinal design of the PHDCN. Research on cohort variations in individual trajectories of exposure to neighbourhood disadvantage and criminalization will be discussed. \nAbout Professor Sampson\nRobert J. Sampson is the Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University\, an Affiliated Research Professor at the American Bar Foundation\, and founding director of the Boston Area Research Initiative. He was Scientific Director for the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN). His research and teaching cover a variety of topic areas including crime\, disorder\, the life course\, neighbourhood effects\, civic engagement\, inequalities\, “ecometrics\,” and the social structure of the city. \nProfessor Sampson is the author of three award-winning books and numerous articles. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the American Society of Criminology\, the American Philosophical Society\, and the American Academy of Political and Social Science. He has also served as President of the American Society of Criminology. \nAbout the Bradford Hill seminars\nThe Bradford Hill seminar series is the principal series of The Cambridge Population Health Sciences Partnership. This comprises the Departments of Public Health & Primary Care\, MRC Biostatistics Unit and MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge\, bringing together a multi-disciplinary partnership of academics and public health professionals. The Bradford Hill seminar programme of internationally recognised speakers covers topics of broad interest to our public health research community. It aims to transcend as well as connect the activities of our individual partners. \nAll are welcome at our Bradford Hill seminars.

SUMMARY:Bradford Hill Seminar - Epidemiology and control of COVID-19 in Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the online Bradford Hill Seminar: \nEpidemiology and control of COVID-19 in Hong Kong\nProfessor Benjamin Cowling\nSchool of Public Health\, University of Hong Kong \nRegister to attend\nRegister in advance for this free online seminar: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAkcOmqrzkpEtWuJN-8FVEKhOSq1s3t0gSw \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nAbstract\nIn early 2020\, Hong Kong was one of the first-affected locations outside of mainland China. However\, in the first two years of the pandemic timely public health measures as part of a “Dynamic Zero Covid” strategy were able to successfully control a number of surges in daily case numbers\, restricting confirmed cases to well below 1% of the population. Epidemiological analyses have improved our understanding of disease dynamics and the impact of control measures. For example\, one of the most interesting phenomena in transmission has been “super-spreading”\, in which we have determined that a minority of infections are responsible for a majority of transmission events. \nIn recent work\, we have been examining how and why superspreading dynamics might vary over time. While mass vaccination provides a pathway back to a new normal in most parts of the world\, the Hong Kong government has followed the strategy in mainland China of continuing “Dynamic Zero Covid” even when vaccine coverage reaches a high level. Our community studies provide evidence on levels of infections and immunity\, and allow us to contrast the difference in effectiveness of the inactivated vaccine (Sinovac) and the mRNA vaccine (BioNTech/Fosun Pharma/Pfizer) being used in Hong Kong \nAbout Professor Cowling\nProfessor Benjamin Cowling has been the Head of the Division of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) since 2013\, and is a co-director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Control at HKU SPH. \nProf Cowling’s primary research focus is in infectious disease epidemiology. In recent years he has designed and implemented large field studies of influenza transmission in the community and the effectiveness and impact of control measures. His latest research has focused on the modes of respiratory virus transmission\, influenza vaccination effectiveness\, and immunity to infections at the individual and population level. He has strong links with China CDC\, and the NIGMS-funded Harvard Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics. \nProfessor Cowling is a fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and a Fellow of the UK Faculty of Public Health. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses\, and an Associate Editor of Emerging Infectious Diseases. \nAbout the Bradford Hill seminars\nThe Bradford Hill seminar series is the principal series of The Cambridge Population Health Sciences Partnership.
