[Emily Cornell]

Just a last-minute reminder re: today’s colloquium…see below.

Dr. Max Crowley will be a giving a research colloquium on Fri 12/12 from 10:30-11:30 am (Q&A from 11:30-12pm).  340 HEDCO Education Building.
Title: The Economics of Prevention: Building the Science of Investing in Healthy Development

Max Crowley is a prevention scientist and methodologist studying how to effectively and efficiently protect children and prevent maladaptive behaviors. Currently, Dr. Crowley is a National Institutes of Health research fellow at Duke University and a research fellow with the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Crowley’s work benefits from interdisciplinary experience in prevention science, methodology and public finance, as well as his work in education policy at the federal and state levels. He has received multiple national awards for his scholarship and currently co-chairs the Society for Prevention Research’s Task Force on Economic Analyses of Prevention. Crowley also co-leads a new NIH-funded research network around advancing benefit-cost analyses of preventive services. This research is motivated by a growing need to understand how society can best allocate scarce education resources to prevent future burden on health and social service systems. To meet the increasing demand for such estimates, his work seeks to design school prevention efforts that strategically invest in youth to reduce maladaptive behaviors as well as the future burden on social service systems. This includes developing performance-based financing strategies to leverage private investment in educational services.  (CV attached).
