Plenary Session 1

Limiting global warming to 1.5 - 2.0º C: A necessary and unique role for health professionals

Presented by Edward Maibach, MPH, PhD (George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication)

Climate change — and the world’s continued reliance on its primary cause, fossil fuels — is arguably already the leading preventable cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the magnitude of the risk is rapidly escalating. In this talk, Dr. Maibach will make the case that health professionals have a necessary role in limiting the health risks of climate change and the fossil fuel economy, as well as a unique — and possibly uniquely impactful — role. He will present communication research findings that reveal how health professionals can effectively lean into their unique and necessary roles

Consequences of the End of Roe: Lessons from the Turnaway Study
Presented by Diana Greene Foster, PhD (University of California, San Francisco)

This presentation describes the effect of the loss of a federal right to abortion on pregnant people in the U.S. After describing the options available to someone who is pregnant and does not want to be, I will provide data on what we expect the consequences to be for someone who is unable to travel to a state with legal abortions or order medication abortion pills online and instead carries the pregnancy to term. The US Turnaway Study (2008-2016) recruited women seeking abortions from 30 abortion facilities across the country, including those who were too far along in pregnancy to get their abortion and those just under who received one. The comparison of these two groups over time shows no evidence of long-term mental health harm but long-term physical health and economic consequences. Women often say their reason for abortion is that they want to take care of the children they already have. We find worse economic outcomes for these children including an increased chance of living in poverty, as well as lower likelihood of achieving developmental milestones. Children born because their mother was denied an abortion are more likely to be born from an unwanted pregnancy, experience worse maternal bonding, are more likely to be born after a short birth interval, compared to those born from pregnancies subsequent to receiving an abortion. Abortion denial adversely affects pregnant peoples’ wellbeing as well as that of existing children at the time of abortion-seeking and those born over the next five years.

Plenary Session 3 

Advancing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for the Future of Primary Care and Population Health
Presented by Dr. Steven Lin (Stanford)

Despite being the largest health care delivery platform, primary care is at risk of being left behind in the research, development, and implementation of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) applications. For example, although primary care accounts for 52% of all care delivered in the U.S. – more than all other specialties combined – only 3% of FDA-approved AI/ML tools is intended for primary care, and less than 1% of AI/ML research funding goes to primary care. To ensure that the power, opportunity, and future of health care AI/ML are realized in the broadest scale, AI/ML developers must pay more attention to primary care, and primary care leaders must do more to engage in AI/ML research and implementation.

In this session, Dr. Steven Lin from Stanford University School of Medicine will discuss how to advance AI/ML for the future of primary care and population health through effective cross-sectoral partnerships, investment in implementation science, and engagement in health policy and equity. Participants will explore the opportunities and risks of AI/ML to primary care, discover today’s most promising AI/ML use cases, and learn how primary care organizations can collaborate to realize a shared vision of AI/ML technologies built by primary care, for primary care.
