Description of the talks:
Dr. Richardson will present a general introduction to system dynamics modeling,
including its history, purposes, principles, and methodology. Dr. Homer will describe
several applications of system dynamics to health issues, including CDC-sponsored models
on the growth of diabetes and obesity, a model of hospital surge capacity, and a model of
cocaine use in the U.S. These models have supported goal setting, policy analysis,
resource needs analysis, theory development, and estimation of hard-to-measure quantities.
