Assistant Professor, Department of Health Management and Policy, Dornsife School of Public Health

 

Dr. Langellier will present preliminary results from his research, which uses agent-based simulation models to understand how neighborhood residential segregation, social networks, and socioeconomic inequalities interact to generate and exacerbate health disparities. Dr. Langellier will overview the utility of agent-based modeling for social and public health research, present preliminary results from a 'toy' model (useful for exploring mechanisms that contribute to disparities and a 'Philadelphia' model (useful for understanding 'real world' disparities), and discuss next steps as this research further develops.
