Call for Abstracts
Workshop Overview
The mission of the Minority Affairs Committee of the American College of Epidemiology is to increase minority representation in the epidemiology profession and to recommend actions that increase the likelihood of significant epidemiologic research on health issues important to racial/ethnic minority populations. During this year’s American College of Epidemiology Annual Conference, we dedicate our all-day Scientific Workshop to issues related to HEALTH DISPARITIES: DEFINITION, MEASUREMENTS, DETERMINANTS, AND CONTROVERSIES.
Health disparities in the US are on the rise affecting low-income Americans, racial and ethnic minorities. The current unemployment crisis most likely will make health disparities worse. The goal of this workshop is to present essentials of health disparities and epidemiology, followed by presentations describing measurement and determinant of health disparities, and a discussion of related controversies by leaders in the field. Specifically we’ll explore topics on the:
- Definition and Measurement of Health Disparities
- Social Determinants and Health Disparities
- Minorities and Need of Health Care Reform
- Intersection of Racism and Health Disparities
- Controversies on Health Disparities
