TITLE: Logistics Issues in Public Health
SPEAKER: Dr. Paul Griffin
ABSTRACT:
In this presentation, we discuss some of the unique aspects of logistics modeling for public
health settings. We illustrate using two examples: the impact of Medicaid expansion on
access and coverage for vulnerable populations and the distribution of fresh fruits and
vegetables to help address obesity. In each example we discuss approaches for estimation,
location, and distribution.
