Since 2016, the Chronic Diseases and Medical Decision-Making Workshop has been bringing together an international group of health economists, decision scientists, psychologists, clinicians, and others with shared interests in decision analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, and the psychology of decision-making to present their work in progress.
Co-organized by the Center for Chronic Disease Research and Policy at the University of Chicago and the Center for Pharmacoepidemiology & Pharmacoeconomics Research at the University of Illinois Chicago, the workshop meets monthly, typically on the last Wednesday of the month at 12PM CT.
