Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is an IAHPR Seminar?
These free one-hour seminars are online and were designed:
(1) To further build a research community around IAHPR by encouraging discussion of newly published HPR studies at both a theoretical and practical level.
(2) To introduce new theories and innovative methods that may be of interest to IAHPR members or that can be incorporated into the work of seminar attendees.
(3) To enhance understanding of recently published studies and effectively disseminate preference evidence, bridging the gap between research and policy.
In May 2020, IAHPR successfully launched its seminar series during the COVID-19 pandemic based on a suggestion from Axel C. Mühlbacher, 2020 Chair of the IAHPR Foundation Board.

What is the seminar format?
The moderator will start the one-hour seminar by introducing the speaker, who will present for 20 to 30 minutes. The presentation is kept brief because the article is distributed in advance of the seminar. The presenter will highlight key findings and aspects not mentioned in the paper. The discussant will briefly summarize the article’s strengths and areas for development and conclude with a few questions. After the presenter responds, the moderator will coordinate questions received via the chat from the attendees. To encourage attendance and open discussion, the seminar is not recorded.

How to ask a question during the seminar?
Send your questions to the moderator using the chat feature. To avoid complications, all microphones will be muted during the first half of the seminar, except for the presenter, discussant and moderator.

Who may attend the IAHPR seminars?
These seminars are free and open to the academic and research community, as well as the public, healthcare, and industrial sectors. Invitations are sent to IAHPR members who are welcome to forward them to interested persons. If you do not know any IAHPR members, send a request to contact@iahpr.org.

How are papers selected for the IAHPR seminars?
Anyone can nominate a published paper. These papers will be reviewed monthly by the Foundation Board in terms of the mission of the Academy and the aims of the seminar series (above). Papers presented by IAHPR members or published in the Patient are given greater consideration. If you wish to nominate a paper, contact one of the Board members, indicating the paper, presenter, and a brief statement of support.

What time are the seminars?
IAHPR is an international organization with participating scientists from around the world; therefore, there is no good time for an online seminar. To avoid normal sleeping hours and provide more equal access, the Board broke the globe into three regions by timezone and will rotate the IAHPR seminar by region and time. Generally, seminars start on the hour of either a Wednesday or a Thursday; however, the start times may vary due to the needs of the presenter, discussant, and moderator. Also, these times will be adjusted for daylight savings as needed.
