SUMMARY:Public Perceptions of Health Equity and How Communication Can Shape Understanding and Action
DESCRIPTION:Health equity is a particularly politically-charged construct in the U.S. in 2025. However\, public understanding of concepts related to health equity and health disparities has been polarized along political party lines for many years. Dr. Gollust will present survey data from 2020-2023 describing the extent of political differences in the public’s understanding of health disparities in the context of COVID-19\, alongside qualitative data on public health communicators’ perspectives about their strategies addressing these topics within a challenging political information environment. Then\, she will present emerging research that suggests how information can shape public understanding of health equity and influence public support for policies that could improve population health. \nLearning Objectives: After this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\n\nUnderstand trends in public opinion about health disparities and related concepts in the United States.\n\n\nIdentify strategies communicators are using to try to promote public understanding of health equity.\n\n\nRecognize evidence-based communication approaches that have promise in shaping public understanding of health equity.\n\n\nThis is an event of the Office of Academic Clinical Affairs (OACA)\, hosted by the Center for Bioethics.  \nSpeaker(s)\n\n\nSarah Gollust\, PhD\, is a Professor in the Division of Health Policy and Management at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health\, as well as Affiliate Faculty in the Center for Bioethics. A social scientist who studies the intersections of communication\, politics\, and health policy\, Dr. Gollust has examined media influences and public opinion around significant health issues\, including obesity\, health equity\, the Affordable Care Act\, and cancer screening. She also examines how research is translated into policymaking. She is a co-lead of the Collaborative on Media and Messaging for Health & Social Policy\, an interdisciplinary group of researchers who study how media and messaging shape public opinions\, attitudes\, and behaviors. Dr. Gollust completed a predoctoral fellowship in Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health\, a postdoctoral fellowship in population health at the University of Pennsylvania\, and she received her PhD in Health Services Organization and Policy from the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:ELSI Friday Forum: "Knowing or Not Knowing: The Ethics of Returning Genetic Risk Information for Alzheimer's Disease"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The return of genetic and biomarker information in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research has emerged as a pressing ethical question as disease-modifying treatments become available and expectations around disclosure shift. This ELSI Friday Forum brings together two leading ELSI researchers whose work interrogates these tensions. \nJessica Mozersky\, PhD (Washington University in St. Louis) will draw on findings from her recent cohort study evaluating who declines to learn AD biomarker results and will discuss the ethical significance of respecting the “right not to know.” Ruth Ottman\, PhD (Columbia University) will present findings from her longitudinal community-based study of Latinos in northern Manhattan that examines the psychosocial\, behavioral\, and cognitive impacts of learning late-onset Alzheimer’s disease risk based on APOE genotype disclosure versus nondisclosure. Moderated by Emily Largent\, JD\, PhD\, RN (University of Pennsylvania)\, this session will explore the ethical\, cultural\, and policy implications of returning AD genetic risk information.

SUMMARY:Children’s Autonomy in Health Care: "Medical Decision-Making for Minors: Two Puzzles"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker \nJoseph Millum\nSenior Lecturer\nSt Andrews University\nDr. Millum is currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at St Andrews University. He also serves as a consultant to the World Health Organisation and he is the Chairperson of the International Society for Priorities in Health. Prior to arriving at St Andrews\, Dr. Millum worked at the US National Institutes of Health for 15 years – in the Clinical Center Department of Bioethics and the Fogarty International Center. \nDr. Millum’s research spans various topics in bioethics and applied ethics. These include: (1) Health care priority-setting; (2) Health research priority-setting; (3) Consent; (4) The ethics of research with human participants; (5) Bioethical theory; (6) The ethics of parenthood. His books include Global Justice and Bioethics (2012)\, The Moral Foundations of Parenthood (2018)\, Global Health Priority-Setting: Beyond Cost-Effectiveness (2020)\, and A Theory of Bioethics (2021). \nAbstract \nThis talk will engage two puzzles surrounding medical decision-making for older children and adolescents. The first concerns decision-making by minors. The law and professional guidelines typically support allowing minors over a certain age to make some decisions for themselves (e.g.\, regarding sexual health) but not others (e.g.\, refusal of life-saving care). This is puzzling because the same individual may be deemed competent to make one decision but not another\, even though the decisions are equally complex. The second concerns decisions that are made on a child’s behalf. Parents frequently make decisions that are contrary to their children’s interests. This is puzzling because it appears to conflict with the “best interests” standard for pediatric decision-making. \nIn both cases\, thinking about the philosophical foundations of clinical practice can help give principled guidance. Regarding decisions by minors\, we can distinguish two rights that together constitute “decision-making capacity.” One is the power to waive one’s rights by giving consent; the other is a claim against others that they not interfere with one’s decisions. I suggest that individuals with borderline decision-making capacity can have the first but not the second—this explains why we should respect adolescent decisions that align with the patient’s interests and values\, but can overrule decisions that are highly contrary to the adolescent’s interests. Regarding decisions made for minors\, I argue that the “best interests” standard should be replaced by a “reasonable subject” standard. This standard would balance the interests of the child with the interests of others. It explains why parents can take their own needs into account in making decisions that affect their families and why it can be permissible to enroll young children into non-beneficial research studies\, while still protecting children from choices that would sacrifice their well-being. \nWe are offering Continuing Education credit in Medicine\, Nursing\, and Social Work.

SUMMARY:Oaths and Expertise: The Bioethical Consequences of Health Policy as Medical Decision-Making
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, participants will explore the shifting health policy climate towards one that is more pervasive and invasive in medical practice. Whether via bans on youth gender care\, curtailing of publicly funded insurance eligibility\, or policies that shape access to reproductive healthcare (to name just a few)\, the laws\, litigation and regulations that impact access to medical care are exerting more power over the pursuit of health than ever before.  Dr. McNamara will review the history of health policy in pediatrics and reproductive medicine up until present day and explore emerging trends. She will then build the argument that policy functions as medical care\, and operates without the self-regulating guardrails that shape medical practice. If we hold health policy to bioethical standards\, perhaps we can conceptualize an idealized framework by which policy and healthcare should intersect. \nLearning Objectives: After this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nDefine policy\, health policy\, the social contract and bioethically sound health policy.\nDescribe the past and present relationships between policy and healthcare with historical examples.\nConceptualize emerging trends in health policy and apply bioethical principles to their impacts.\nBuild a shared understanding of effective engagement in health policy development processes.\n\nThis is an event of the Office of Academic Clinical Affairs (OACA)\, hosted by the Center for Bioethics. \nSpeaker(s)\nMeredithe McNamara\, MD\, MS\, FAAP\, is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Yale School of Medicine and Affiliate Faculty in the Yale Institute for Global Health. Dr. McNamara is a board-certified pediatrician and Adolescent Medicine specialist who provides full spectrum healthcare to adolescents and young adults aged 11-25. This care encompasses\, among others\, mental health\, substance use\, eating disorders\, sexual health\, menstrual disorders\, harm reduction\, gender diversity\, and general primary care in community and school-based settings. In addition to her work as a practicing clinician\, she conducts research on scientific disinformation in health policy that impacts youth access to healthcare. As the Co-Director of the Integrity Project\, her research and writing is operationalized in policy processes via testimony\, public comments and litigation. She has testified in several state-based litigation processes challenging state-level bans on youth gender care\, and before US Congress. She has co-authored numerous amicus briefs\, including one filed with the US Supreme Court. Her work is inherently multi-disciplinary and she collaborates with legal/policy scholars\, bioethicists\, scientific subject matter experts and\, most importantly\, members of the communities most impacted by policies of interest.
