Developing a Critical Health Equity Research Agenda

项目摘要 许多现有的和新兴的方法和方法正在被利用和发展，以 了解和解决多种形式的压迫，并最终解决健康不平等问题，但 很少有空间来传递和辩论这些问题。此外，虽然 认识论是健康公平研究的关键起点，对不同观点的讨论 认识论也很少见。这一切都导致了在理解、发展、 以及实施这样重要的健康公平研究和实践解决方案。例如, 有几种结构性种族主义正在被利用，大多产生于社会 科学，但这些还没有被广泛地纳入医疗和公共卫生领域。这 应用程序请求为为期一天的创新研讨会提供支持， 《卫生公平研究议程》，面向博士后和博士后实习生和科学家 立志通过跨学科和 人口科学镜头。研讨会充分利用了我们与 人口健康科学跨学科协会(IAPHS) 致力于推进人口健康科学及其在改善健康和 缩小健康差距。IAPHS是这样一个研讨会的理想平台，因为它的成员 一直在围绕种族主义和其他形式的压迫进行讨论 组织成立之初。拟议的会议赠款的总体目标是带来 将正在考虑、实施或拥有的研究人员和社区利益相关者 已完成的研究旨在促进卫生公平，并为关键的 选择现有和新兴方法方面的卫生公平研究方法和培训。这个 拟议的研讨会与NIMHD支持的其他会议有很大不同，这些会议没有 专注于关键的健康公平研究方法和解决方案，如参与- 旨在推进健康公平研究的驱动方法和替代认识论。这个 研讨会预计将影响参与者和更广泛的学者社区，这些学者 渴望通过有效的跨学科为健康和健康公平研究做出贡献 研究、合作和实践。

Project Abstract Many existing and emerging methodologies and methods are being utilized and developed to understand and address multiple forms of oppression, and ultimately health inequities, yet there are few spaces in which these are being delivered and debated. Furthermore, while epistemology is a critical starting point for health equity research, discussions about different epistemologies are also rare. This has all resulted in critical gaps in understanding, developing, and implementing such important health equity research and practice solutions. For example, there are several measures of structural racism being utilized, mostly born out of the social sciences, yet these have not been widely integrated in the medical and public health fields. This application requests support for an innovative one-day workshop, “Developing a Critical Health Equity Research Agenda”, for pre- and post-doctoral trainees and scientists who aspire to contribute to the field of health equity research through an interdisciplinary and population science lens. The workshop leverages our longstanding partnership with the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS), a scientific organization devoted to advancing population health science and its application to improving health and reducing health disparities. IAPHS is an ideal platform for such a workshop as its members have been engaging in discussions around racism and other forms of oppression since the organization’s inception. The overall objective of the proposed conference grant is to bring together researchers and community stakeholders who are considering, conducting, or have completed studies aimed at advancing health equity and to provide an orientation to critical health equity research methods and training in select existing and emerging methodologies. The proposed workshop is very different from other NIMHD-supported conferences, which have not focused on critical health equity research methodologies and solutions such as participant- driven methods and alternative epistemologies aimed at advancing health equity research. The workshop is expected to impact both participants and a broader community of scholars who aspire to contribute to health and health equity research through effective interdisciplinary research, collaboration, and practice.
