“Policies, Places, and Profits: Manufacturers of Illness and Health”
September 30 – October 2, 2020 | Virtual Conference
The theme of the 2020 IAPHS conference is “Policies, Places, and Profits: Manufacturers of Illness and Health.” The theme recognizes the influential work of John B. McKinlay, who coined the phrase “manufacturers of illness” to emphasize the key role of upstream factors, particularly political-economic systems, in shaping population health. IAPHS has made McKinlay’s path-breaking article available for members (click here).
The overall goal of this year’s IAPHS conference is to bring together scholars from multiple disciplines to share current research findings, frameworks, and methods; elevate awareness about how policies, places, and profits shape population health for better or for worse; facilitate new collaborations; and identify ways to improve health through outreach to policymakers, industry and the public. The conference will continue the IAPHS tradition of offering a scientifically engaging and interactive program, welcoming anyone interested in population health.

IAPHS is waiving conference fees for its members because we recognize that these are challenging financial times for many individuals. As a new organization, IAPHS is facing financial challenges too. Like other organizations, IAPHS relies on income from its conference to meet critical expenses. Unlike most other organizations, it doesn’t yet have a reserve of funds large enough to carry it through crises like this.
