CHaRMS Seminar: "Disparities in Consumer Health and Well-being: Research on the Role of Marketing" - December 13th 2016

12/9/2016

 
Sonya Grier (American University – Kogod School of Business). Tuesday December 13th, 16:00-17:00 Lecture Room 4, Queen’s Management School.

Abstract

This presentation will discuss the relationship of marketing to consumer health and well-being, using disparities in obesity and gentrification as two diverse focal domains. First, I will discuss the big picture of health disparities in the United states, and provide an overview of the relationship of marketing to consumer health. Then, I will overview a multi-method program of research which has examined the role of the marketing environment on disparities in obesity. Next, I will discuss qualitative research utilizing videography which examines diversity-seeking, consumption and community in neighborhoods undergoing urban revitalization. I will summarize and integrate key findings across the two domains with a focus on lessons learned regarding approaches and strategies that may be utilized by marketers and policymakers to contribute to the development of health and well-being among diverse consumers.

Seminar on Structural Equation Modelling in the Quantitative Methodological Forum

12/6/2016

 
Dr Jianjun Tang will give a seminar on Structural Equation Modelling in the Quantitative Methodological Forum on Friday 9th December 2016 at 1pm in the Centre of Public Health (Seminar Room 02 024, Level 2 of the ICSB building, Royal Victoria Hospital), Queen’s University Belfast. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is a statistical modelling technique that measures latent variables, i.e. those constructs that are known to exist but cannot be directly observed, and their relationships with observed variables within an integrated framework. It was first applied in psychological studies but has been extended to a wide range of fields including economics, behavioural sciences and public health. During the seminar, Dr Tang will introduce the basic principles of SEM, followed by two examples illustrating its applications in the area of public health.
