The "2001 International Conference on Health Policy Research
(ICHPR): Methodological Issues in Health Services and 
Outcomes Research," will be held at the Boston Logan Airport 
Hilton, December 7 - 9, 2001. The ICHPR provides a forum for 
discussing research needs and solutions to the methodological
challenges in health services research. Its specific aim
is to create the interface for methodologists and 
sophisticated health service researchers to exchange and 
build upon ideas.  The conference will focus on methodology
for health services research with applications drawn from a
wide range of subject areas.

The conference is sponsored by the Health Policy Statistics
Section (HPSS) of the American Statistical Association.
