SUMMARY:Ashwaghosha Parthasarathi on "Coverage Is Not Care — The Clinical and Economic Toll of Insurance Barriers to Care"
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid seminar hosted by IFH’s Center for Climate\, Health\, and Healthcare\nSpeaker: Ashwaghosha Parthasarathi\, MBBS\, Postdoctoral Research Associate\, CCHHDescription: Health insurance coverage is often assumed to mean that patients can get the care they need. In reality\, many patients and clinicians still face common barriers that make care harder to access\, such as extra insurance approval steps before treatment\, insurance refusing to pay for recommended services or medicines\, medications not being included on a plan’s covered list\, and high out-of-pocket costs patients must pay themselves. These barriers can delay treatment\, interrupt ongoing care\, create extra work for clinical teams\, and add costs across the healthcare system. \nIn this one-hour seminar\, we will share findings from ongoing studies examining how insurance barriers shape healthcare access\, clinical care\, and sustainability. Using examples from asthma biologics and inhaler coverage\, we will discuss how insurance plan rules can influence which treatments patients receive\, how quickly they receive them\, and what financial burden they face. We will also briefly discuss a protocol in development to evaluate policy changes after biosimilar entry\, as an example of how future research can assess effects on treatment continuity\, adherence\, and healthcare utilization. \nThis session is designed for a general research audience and will provide a clear\, practical overview of how insurance policies can function as important real-world determinants of care. \nIn-Person: 5th Floor Conference Room\, IFH\, 112 Paterson Street\, New Brunswick \nVia Zoom https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/99475027371?pwd=4wnLfqFoDrGAgnnrh98aye33uG4XdC.1&from=addon

SUMMARY:Institute for Health Seminar: Dr. Deborah Carr on Older Adults and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers Institute for Health is excited to welcome Dr. Deborah Carr for our next seminar. Director of the Center for Innovation in Social Science and A&S Distinguished Professor of Sociology at Boston University\, Dr. Carr will give a talk on “Older Adults’ Complex Family Lives in the 21st Century: Implications for End-of-Life Preparations and Well-Being.” \nAdvances in medical technologies mean that older adults are living longer than ever before\, with most dying of chronic diseases that have protracted symptoms and require difficult decisions about end-of-life care. Most older adults rely on their families for advance care planning\, advocacy\, and decision-making – raising concerns about the rising numbers of adults growing old without a spouse or children. This presentation examines how: (1) marital trajectories and parental statuses affect advance care planning\, a critical step for attaining a ‘good death\,” and (2) marital status affects ten end-of-life quality outcomes as assessed by the decedent’s proxy. Analyses are based on the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and National Health and Aging Trends (NHATS) surveys. Implications for policy\, practice\, and future research will be discussed. \nDeborah Carr is director of the Center of Innovation in Social Science and A&S Distinguished Professor of sociology. She is a life course sociologist who uses survey data and quantitative methods to study social factors linked with health and well-being in later life. She has written extensively on inequality in old age\, death and dying\, bereavement\, family relationships over the life course\, and the stigma associated with health conditions including obesity and disability. She has published more than 140 articles and chapters\, and several books including Aging in America (University of California Press\, 2023) and Worried Sick: How Stress Hurts Us and How to Bounce Back (Rutgers University Press\, 2014)\, as well as several co-authored textbooks including Introduction to Sociology\, Essentials of Sociology\, and The Art and Science of Social Research (all with W. W. Norton).  Her 2019 book  Golden Years? Social Inequality in Later Life (Russell Sage) received the 2020 Richard Kalish Innovative Publication Award from the Gerontological Society of America. She is also co-editor of the Handbook of Aging & Social Sciences\, 9th ed. (Elsevier\, 2021). Her research has been funded by National Institutes of Health\, RRF Foundation on Aging\, Templeton Foundation\, Borchard Foundation\, and most recently Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She was editor-in-chief of Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences (2015-20)\, and is principal investigator of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). She currently serves as editor-in-chief of Journal of Health and Social Behavior (2023-25). Dr. Carr has served on the Board of Directors of the Population Association of America\, and as chair of the sections on Aging & the Life Course and Medical Sociology of the American Sociological Association. She is a fellow of the Gerontological Society of America\, a member of the honorary Sociological Research Association\, and the recipient of the 2022 Matilda White Riley Distinguished Scholar Award and 2023 Outstanding Mentorship Award from the ASA Aging & Life Course section. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2024. Her research and op-eds have been featured in national media including The New York Times\, USA Today\, CNN\, Los Angeles Times\, The Conversation\, PBS programs including Story in the Public Square and To the Contrary\, podcasts including the New Books Network\, and other sources.
