Deadline approaching (ESRA 2019): CfA "Causality in Health Inequalities Research: New Solutions to Old Challenges?"
by Katharina Loter 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Dear Colleagues, we would like to remind you of the approaching deadline (3 days left) for abstract submission for the ESRA Conference 2019 in Zagreb, Croatia and draw your attention to our session: Causality in Health Inequalities Research: New Solutions to Old Challenges? 8th Conference of the European Survey Research Association: 15th-19th July 2019 in Zagreb, Croatia https://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conferences/call_for_abstracts Session: Causality in Health Inequalities Research: New Solutions to Old Challenges? https://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conferences/sessionCategories?sess=1… Deadline for Abstracts: 18th November 2018, abstract (max. 310 words) Session details: Questions that motivate most studies on the emergence and reproduction of health inequalities over the life course are longitudinal and causal in nature. Fortunately, after several decades of socio-epidemiological research that produced numerous cross-sectional (and thus associational) findings, the need for studies aiming at disentangling causal effects and mechanisms from non-causal associations is becoming increasingly recognized. Especially, attempts to estimate causal effects of social background variables (e.g., marital and family status or occupational status) and/ or life changing events (e.g., pregnancy, separation and divorce, death of a family member, retirement) on health over time – including selection and reverse causality – have to be undertaken using advanced data structures and analytical techniques suited for causal inference. Following recent developments in causal theory including directed acyclic graphs (DAG), new opportunities for innovative health research are being generated by the increasing availability of rich panel data with multiple times of observation and different types of health measures (biomarkers, fitness tracker data, results of objective medical tests, and a variety of subjective indicators). Nonetheless, causal analyses on health inequalities over time remain challenging for many reasons, and one of them is health being a strong predictor of attrition in panel studies (due to nonresponse or death). Several analytical approaches have been proposed as a remedy for the manifold challenges regarding causal inference in health research. The first one deals with health-related self-selection as a missing data problem and uses techniques for correcting causal effect estimates such as weighting or dropout models for nonignorable nonresponse (e.g., Heckman selection models). The second one focuses on reducing unobserved heterogeneity (e.g., via instrumental variables, propensity score matching, fixed-effects regression). The third one places emphasis on testing potential intervening mechanisms (mediator and suppressor effects). The fourth one corresponds with the use of agent-based modeling (e.g., with SIENA) enabling simultaneous estimation of selection and causation effects in a social network framework. Finally, the consideration of measurement error while dealing with latent variables may serve to adjust causal effect estimates for (lack of) reliability. In the light of the above challenges, we invite submissions applying any of the mentioned approaches (or other innovative analysis techniques) with the goal to improve understanding of causality and selection in (preferably longitudinal) research on health inequalities. Welcome are contributions that aim at unraveling the causal complexity between social background variables and/ or life course transitions and events, and any kind of objective or subjective health outcome.

Reminder!! CfP „Dealing with International Comparative Survey Instruments in the Field of Education and Occupational Status", ESRA 2019
by Mergener, Dr. Alexandra 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Dear Colleagues, I would like to remind you that the deadline for submissions to the ESRA 2019 is the end of this week. Please draw your attention to the call for abstracts for the session „Dealing with International Comparative Survey Instruments in the Field of Education and Occupational Status: Challenges and Achievements”. https://www.europeansurveyresearch.org/conferences/sessionCategories?sess=58 Please submit an abstract (max. 300 words) to the session via the ESRA conference management system. Deadline for Abstracts: 18th November 2018. Best regards Alexandra Mergener Session details: Dealing with International Comparative Survey Instruments in the Field of Education and Occupational Status: Challenges and Achievements Over the past decades, the number of international comparative approaches and studies in the fields of educational and occupational research increased substantially. Even if these approaches lead to tremendous insights into these research fields and are helpful to reflect and interpret the results of one’s own country from another perspective, there are challenges and sometimes limitations in achieving (effectively) comparable results. Different cultural and economic settings lead to a diverse understanding of concepts. Especially in case of education and occupational status, there are system specific characteristics researchers have to deal with in every country. Those hinder measurement, harmonization and finally comparison of concepts. With international classifications, scales or indices of education and occupational status (e.g. ISCED, CASMIN, ISCO, ISEI, SIOP, EGP), there are survey instruments which should enhance the international comparability. Nevertheless, it has been shown, for instance, that the ‘International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED)’ or ’years of education’ measure the educational attainments in cross-national surveys inadequately, as they do not sufficiently capture the distinct value of vocational training in some countries. Additionally, surveys could ask for occupations or the occupational status in a different way (e.g. asking for job titles or job tasks), depending on the national concept und understanding of occupations. Thus, in the proposed session we are going to look for contributions focusing on experiences with the international comparability of classifications of education and occupations or occupational status. We are interested in the ways researchers handle the coding of different educational and occupational variables and how they transfer them in international classifications. What kind of analytical approaches could enhance the international comparability? Survey researchers who are active in these fields of research are welcome to present their (recent) studies and their strategies to deal with it or to discuss existing problems and challenges with the international comparability of these survey instruments.
