| Unequal Treatment, the IOM's report has focused policy maker's attention on the immediate need to better understand the underlying causes of racial and ethnic disparities in health care and identifying strategies to reduce or eliminate such disparities. This session will describe the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) effort to eliminate disparities. AHRQ's program aims to: 1)increase knowledge, tools and strategies to eliminate disparities, 2)build the capacity of racial and ethnic minority investigators and institutions that serve such racial and ethnic minority populations to conduct health research, and 3) increase community participation in disparities research. Five papers will be discussed at the session. Each paper will be about 10 minutes long. The first two papers will describe findings from research studies that address disparities. The third paper focuses on how minority serving institutions are building capacity for research. The fourth and fifth paper will focus on understanding how researchers are engaging in building research-community partnership to eliminate disparities. There will be a question and answer session after all the papers have been presented. | |||
