The 2018 Annual Health Law Conference will be held April 12-13, 2018 at Northeastern University. The conference will bring together experts, policymakers, and academics to discuss the causes behind health trends including so-called "deaths of despair" (including death from chronic substance abuse and overdoses), and to explore potential political, policy, and legal responses for addressing broader determinants that affect the physical and mental health of Americans dying from these diseases of despair. The conference will also explore similar patterns among diverse populations, as well as continuing racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities. Visit the conference website to view the full agenda and roster of speakers, including IU's own Nicolas P.
