Developing a Critical Health Equity Research Agenda

项目摘要 许多现有的和新兴的方法论和方法正在被利用和开发 理解并解决多种形式的压迫，并最终解决健康不平等问题，但 很少有空间可以对这些内容进行阐述和辩论。此外，虽然 认识论是健康公平研究的一个重要起点，讨论不同的问题 认识论也很少见。这一切都导致了理解、发展、 并实施此类重要的健康公平研究和实践解决方案。例如， 正在利用多种结构性种族主义措施，大部分源于社会 科学，但尚未广泛融入医疗和公共卫生领域。这个 应用程序请求支持创新的一日研讨会，“开发一个关键的 健康公平研究议程”，针对博士前和博士后学员以及科学家 渴望通过跨学科和跨学科的研究为健康公平研究领域做出贡献 人口科学镜头。该研讨会充分利用了我们与 人口健康科学跨学科协会 (IAPHS)，一个科学组织 致力于推进人口健康科学及其在改善健康和健康方面的应用 减少健康差距。 IAPHS对于会员来说是一个理想的研讨会平台 自上世纪九十年代以来一直在参与有关种族主义和其他形式压迫的讨论 组织的成立。拟议会议赠款的总体目标是 正在考虑、进行或已经进行的研究人员和社区利益相关者一起 完成了旨在促进健康公平并为关键问题提供指导的研究 健康公平研究方法以及选定现有和新兴方法的培训。的 拟议的研讨会与 NIMHD 支持的其他会议有很大不同，后者没有 专注于关键的健康公平研究方法和解决方案，例如参与者 旨在推进健康公平研究的驱动方法和替代认识论。的 研讨会预计将影响参与者和更广泛的学者群体 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.
