Description: This webcast will focus on recently published health research which examines the impacts of social determinants of health on oral health outcomes as well as on chronic kidney disease progression. Participants will gain insights on how different aspects of social determinants of health can impact how healthcare is delivered as well as the impact on health care costs.

Description: In this report, we explore the impact of clustering using the Medical Expenditure Panel Study (MEPS) data for children (aged 5 to 17) to build a bridge between oral health and overall health using dental and medical expenditures. We include social determinants of health as cluster input variables using the Partitioning around Medoids (PAM) method to identify children and their families who could potentially benefit from population health management related to oral health.

Description: 2005 SOA New Orleans Spring Meeting. In this teaching session, panelists discuss the importance, performance, reading and understanding of research that is critical to the future of the health actuarial profession. A case study of a particular research paper is used to facilitate understanding.
