This portion of the panel discussion will focus on locating the population health outcomes from the U.S. within a broader global context, drawing in part on results from the Global Burden of Disease 2010 study. Examining patterns and historical trends in specific causes of mortality and morbidity around the world, and in risk factors for these outcomes, we will consider some of the key drivers of lagging progress in the U.S. and some potential priorities for bridging the gaps.
