Recommendations for Research from the Committee on Improving the Quality of Health Care Globally
“Crossing the Global Quality Chasm: Improving Health Care Worldwide” is a recent study by the National Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM). It addresses quality of care as “a serious obstacle to improving health among the world’s poorest and most marginalized people.” NASEM committee members and others will address the report recommendations, including an implementation science research agenda for health care quality. A commissioner from the recent Lancet Commission on “High-quality health systems in the Sustainable Development Goals Era: time for a revolution” will discuss the report, focusing on improving quality of care via implementation research.

The Warp and the Weft: Interweaving Child Development into Health Programs in Resource-poor Settings
Health and development are interwoven in their risks and protective factors, but not enough in their implementation, particularly in impoverished settings globally. These risks to development such as poverty, malnutrition, disease, violence/political instability and maternal depression threaten both health and children’s development. This symposium will present programs from three of our collaborators who are successfully integrating early child development activities into established health programs in Africa (pediatric development clinic in rural Rwanda), Central (community-based malnutrition amelioration in a rural indigenous Maya community in Guatemala) and South America (community-based caregiver support and coaching in developmentally supportive parenting in urban Lima, Peru).

Global Health Humanities: Scope of an Emerging Field in Global Health?
Global Health Humanities (GHH) is a new, burgeoning field in global health. There is an urgency to develop (within clinical curricula) humanities programs that are at once contextually appropriate and not overly-tethered to the Western cannon of humanities. Emergent areas in GHH can enhance the education, training and workplace effectiveness of global health interprofessional workers. CUGH’s Education Committee recently established a GHH Working Group, where members can interact, and develop collaborative projects in this field. This panel will define the field of GHH through a series of talks on a range of topics, with the goal of generating discussion and participation amongst the broader CUGH global community.

Addressing Clinicians and Trainees Practicing Outside their Scope of Training in “Global Health”?
Research has emerged that 40% of health professionals an trainees taking part in short-term Global Health activities abroad in low resource settings are asked to practice beyond their scope of training. At least 60% go on to actually do so. Further, data suggests that the health professionals and trainees experience significant moral distress, guilt, frustration, and conflict around this phenomenon. This panel of experts and practioners will discuss the latest research in this area, as well as mult-pronged approaches to address the challenges faced by sending institutions, hosting institutions, health professionals, trainees, patients, administrators, and other stakeholders.

Gun Violence in the Americas
Gun Violence is a 21st century disease of modern societies. The Americas are home to 47 of the world’s top 50 most violent cities. While Chicago and other US cities do not rank in the top 50 of this index, homicide rates of African American male youth are some of the highest rates in the hemisphere. This panel seeks to build on the public health model of addressing gun violence by highlighting innovative, evidence-based anti-violence approaches, and outline progress towards achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Reducing the Global Mental Health Treatment Gap Through Implementation Innovations
Globally, mental health disorders are responsible for 23% of all disabilities, yet less than 4% get the treatment they need. Closing the mental health treatment gap is a top global health priority. The global mental health movement has made significant progress in better characterizing the mental health needs in LMICs, developing approaches that can work in low resource settings, reducing stigma in societies not previously supportive of humane care for the mentally ill, developing mental health prevention and promotion strategies, integrating mental health care into primary care and communities, and building mental health research capacities in LMICs. This panel of global mental health leaders will showcase the progress and challenges in global mental health.

Perspectives on 100&Change: John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Global Competition for Bold Solutions to Critical Problems of Our Time
100&Change is a distinctive competition that invited proposals that promise real progress toward solving a critical problem of our time in any field or any location. In 2017, MacArthur awarded a $100 milion grant to the Sesame Workshop and the International Rescue Committee to education young children displaced by conflict and persecution in the Middle East. Three additional finalists received grants of $15 million each to eliminate hidden hunger in Africa by fortifying staple crops, improve newborn survial in Africa, and change how society cares for children in orphanages. This panel will discuss these dynamic programs and their progress to date with a specific focus on using research for action.
