| The recent launch of Healthy People 2010 has brought increased attention to eliminating health disparities. Less attention, however, has been given to the role of health research in creating and reinforcing the inequities in health faced by much of the nation's population. This session discusses the reframing of health research by emphasizing the power of the social context in shaping health research and health outcomes, while acknowledging the role of biomedical and individual determinants. Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1. identify the role unquestioned assumptions play in shaping and interpreting health data, 2. discuss the influence of "gaps" in scientific knowledge on the individual and collective health status of underserved sub-populations, and 3. describe suggested remedies aimed at establishing an equitable balance in health and medical research | ||||
