Topics
There are several areas of public health where the evidence for improving the underlying factors that shape poor health outcomes of vulnerable populations is robust, but is not effectively communicated and translated to inform the public and decision makers at various levels of government and in the private sector. This workshop explored different strategies for framing the dialogue on equity and inequity among racial and ethnic groups to advance population health equity.
Description
An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a one-day public workshop featuring presentations on and discussion about different strategies to frame the dialogue about race and ethnicity to advance health equity. The workshop may highlight such topics as framing the evidence of racial and ethnic inequalities and health equity, the public understanding of the concepts of racial and ethnic equity and health equity, the supporting evidence for effective communication to and with policymakers and the public about racial and ethnic inequalities and health equity, and understanding equity as a desired outcome in efforts to apply a health lens to decision making in non-health sectors. The committee will identify specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants, and moderate the discussions. A summary of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
