• Webinar: Support as needed
• Website (emoyusa.github.io): Will continue to update weekly

>Week 3 Progress

Model

• "Real" disparities model version 2.1
• "Calibrated" model to keep populations stable but appreciate that data on prevalence by age provides insight into net changes but not magnitude of inflows and outflows; have set outflows to be constant and set probability of starting to exercise equal to probability of ceasing to be obese
• Added line to separate east and west, two races, a Disparities Effect variable that gives greater health care benefit to pinks vs. browns, and trackers for different counts and rates
• Added sliders to allow users to adjust model parameters at setup or as model is run
• "Educational" model
• Added background graphic
• Added 5 levels of increasing difficulty
• Developed gaming user interface with increasing user actions as levels progress
• Added ability to keep track of a high score and take snapshot if new high score is attained

Dissemination and translation

• Work with AH
• Plan to demo new models for Academy Health this week
• Still working to hone in on content of possible training session on modeling or other data visualization techniques
• Plan to meet with disparities interest group next week and reach out to HIT interest group
• Webinar: Support as needed
• Website (emoyusa.github.io): Will continue to update weekly

Bonus: Attended disparities conference at AEI and enjoyed Chapulines at Oyamel
