DESCRIPTION:Usama Bilal\, PhD\, MPH\, MD\n\nAssistant Professor\n	Department
  of Epidemiology and Biostatistics | Drexel University\n\nWHERE: Hybrid | 
 2001 91ºÚÁÏÍø College\, Rm 1140 | Zoom\n\nNote: Usama Bilal will be presenti
 ng from Drexel\n\nAbstract\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic was one of the most im
 pactful health events of the last century\, only behind the 1918 influenza
  pandemic in terms of its impacts on mortality. However\, the pandemic has
  not affected everyone equally\, and has had heterogeneous impacts by plac
 e. In this talk\, I will summarize three years of work examining the dispa
 rate impacts of the pandemic across cities of the Americas\, focusing on t
 he US and Latin American cities. I will show studies examining disparities
  in COVID-19 outcomes by neighborhood\, including incidence\, mortality\, 
 and vaccinations. I will also introduce new research examining excess mort
 ality across more than 900 cities of the region to highlight how the pande
 mic has affected different regions.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nBy the end o
 f this session\, attendees will:\n\n\n	Review how characteristics of cities
  can impact the public’s health and health disparities\;\n	Understand the e
 stimation of excess mortality during disasters (including pandemics)\;\n	Di
 scuss potential interventions to reduce health disparities in cities.\n\n
 \nSpeaker Bio\n\nUsama Bilal is an assistant professor in the Urban Health
  Collaborative and the department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at Drexe
 l's Dornsife School of Public Health. His primary research interest is the
  macrosocial determinants of health\, with an interest in describing healt
 h inequities in urban environments\, specifically urban health in Latin Am
 erican cities\; the health consequences of urban and neighborhood dynamics
 \; and the effect of mass-influences (e.g.\, macroeconomic change) on heal
 th and policy modifiers that mitigate/exacerbate these effects. He earned 
 a PhD in Cardiovascular Epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Scho
 ol of Public Health\, an MPH from the Universidad de Alcala in Spain\, and
  MD from the Universidad de Oviedo in Spain.\n
