SUMMARY:CRWBH - Distinguished Talk by Dr Mrinmoyi Kulkarni- Social Determinants of Health
LOCATION:VKS 003\, FLAME University
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nIndia appears to be in the middle of a transition in terms of
  disease burden from communicable to non-communicable diseases. This is a c
 onsequence of the developing economy, increased life expectancy, and improv
 ed healthcare. The increasing burden of heart disease and diabetes brings l
 ifestyle factors and health behaviors into sharper focus, given their influ
 ence on the incidence and course of these chronic diseases. Health behavior
 s are known to be influenced by both social structural variables as well as
  individual psychological variables. Work in this area both globally and in
  India will be reviewed. Health outcomes in terms of chronic conditions, pe
 rceived health and aging will be discussed, with the goal of planning more 
 effective interventions to prevent and manage health conditions.\nSpeaker B

 t the Harvard School of Public Health – in the department of Health and Soc
 ial Behaviour. She later worked at the Family Planning Association of India
 . She has been faculty at I.I.T Bombay since 2007. Her work lies at the int
 ersection of health and social psychology. She works in the areas of health
