Dr. Richardson will present a general introduction to system dynamics
modeling, including its history, purposes, principles, and methodology.
Dr. Homer will describe several applications of system dynamics to
health issues, including CDC-sponsored models on the growth of diabetes
and obesity, a model of hospital surge capacity, and a model of cocaine
use in the U.S. These models have supported goal setting, policy
analysis, resource needs analysis, theory development, and estimation of
hard-to-measure quantities.
