While they can be useful tools\, algorithms are created using data from sources such as electronic health records or longitudinal studies. They reflect the features present in that data – which may include a lack of representation of various subgroups of the population\, selection bias that may differ among subgroups\, systematic measurement error\, and more. In clinical settings\, these biases can manifest as results that may be inaccurate for certain groups of patients\, potentially leading to misdiagnosis\, missed opportunities for treatment\, and other undesirable outcomes. \nThis talk provides an introduction to the concept of algorithmic bias\, illustrating how it may show up through examples from various areas in medicine. The goal of this talk is to support attendees in understanding algorithmic bias\, the limitations of clinical prediction rules\, and the impact algorithmic bias may have on patients. We will also discuss how to begin to identify and minimize the impact of algorithmic bias. \nThis introductory seminar is appropriate for those who are familiar with clinical algorithms and are curious to learn about their limitations. Healthcare providers\, analysts\, students\, and others are welcome. \nRegister via Compass. This seminar will be recorded.

From funding cuts to the destabilization of long-trusted public health institutions\, 2025 was a notable year for public health. Federal executive orders issued throughout 2025 were no exception. \nInformation on the federal executive orders issued throughout 2025 was often scattered\, making it difficult to appreciate the overall impact of these federal actions and related policies on public health. \nThe Network’s newly created resource\, Executive Order Watch: Public Health Impact of the 2025 Federal Executive Orders\, helps bridge this gap by providing an at-a-glance overview of the 2025 executive orders. Though not exhaustive\, the wide range of topics—from climate to vaccines to the federal workforce—captures the scale of impact across public health. \nJoin us to learn more about this new resource and the ongoing public health impacts of the 2025 executive orders and related actions in areas including equity\, reproductive health\, the Federal MAHA initiative\, immigration\, and voting. \nAttend this webinar to learn about: \n\nThe Network’s new resource Public Health Impact of the 2025 Federal Executive Orders.\nLarger public health themes and events\, policies\, and actions related to the 2025 Executive Orders. \n\nREGISTER FOR EVENT URL:https://ohsu-psu-sph.org/event/the-public-health-impacts-of-the-2025-executive-orders-an-overview-of-the-networks-executive-order-tracker/ LOCATION:VIRTUAL\, Portland\, OR\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture & Webinars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260330T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260330T170000 DTSTAMP:20260417T080835 CREATED:20260306T234233Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260307T004523Z UID:10001691-1774886400-1774890000@ohsu-psu-sph.org SUMMARY:Power and Sample Size 101 DESCRIPTION:Biostatistics\, Epidemiology\, and Research Design (BERD) and Informatics Programs\nHosted by: Meike Niederhausen\, Ph.D. \n  \nAre you grappling with power and sample size (PSS) calculations for a grant or looking to brush up on your PSS skills?

During the webinar they will discuss their projects\, how the fellowship and the campaign supported them\, and how others can get involved in work like this as part of the social mission alliance. This will help students conceptualize how you can practice community organizing AND be a healthcare professional at the same time\, plus SMA will offer tangible ways learners can participate in their nation-wide advocacy campaign fighting for transformative health justice through social accountability within health professions training institutions. \nREGISTER FOR EVENT URL:https://ohsu-psu-sph.org/event/organizing-and-advocating-for-us-all-reflections-from-the-social-mission-alliance-health-justice-fellows/ LOCATION:VIRTUAL\, Portland\, OR\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture & Webinars END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260514T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260514T130000 DTSTAMP:20260417T080835 CREATED:20260320T170032Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260320T170032Z UID:10001706-1778760000-1778763600@ohsu-psu-sph.org SUMMARY:Quantitative Epidemiology Methods in Practice Seminar DESCRIPTION:Recreational cannabis legalization and serious mental disorder among cannabis patients in California: A statewide longitudinal study\\nPresenter: Sidra Goldman-Mellor PhD\, MPH – Associate Professor\, Department of Public Health\, University of California\, Merced \nMore than 50% of U.S. residents live in states with legalized recreational use of cannabis. Some research suggests that recreational cannabis legalization has led to population-level increases in incidence of serious mental disorder. This talk will present results from a study using statewide\, longitudinally-linked administrative health record data to examine whether recreational legalization in California was associated with changes in mental disorder risk among a potentially vulnerable subgroup: individuals with problematic cannabis use. \nJOIN VIRTUALLY URL:https://ohsu-psu-sph.org/event/quantitative-epidemiology-methods-in-practice-seminar/ LOCATION:Vanport 515\, with remote option\, 1810 SW 5th Avenue\, Portland\, 97201 CATEGORIES:Lecture & Webinars END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
