SUMMARY:Humility in population health science: lessons for fostering an el
 der-supportive 'culture of health' after the pandemic - Sean Valles (Michi

DESCRIPTION:One component of the increasingly popular 'population health s
 cience' framework is a conviction that public health requires health-condu
 cive policies and social practices across society\, which together constit
 ute a 'culture of health': living wages\, anti-racist public education and
  legal reforms\, community-run health clinics\, etc. One challenge for suc
 h efforts is that most communities are ill-designed for supporting elders'
  well-being: substandard eldercare facilities\, neighbourhoods not designe
 d for people with vision or mobility impairments\, etc. I argue that one i
 mportant piece of this public health effort is the humility that will need
  to be cultivated alongside other more concrete cultural resources. In par
 ticular\, I will draw out a lesson from population health science theory: 
 that humility is a vital part of an effort to create a culture of health i
 n any community\, a culture that fully includes elders' well-being. This i
 ncludes humility in the relations between academic disciplines\, between s
 ectors of society\, and between individual members of society.
