DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Conference Title: Rehabilitative Health and Health Disparities: A Call to Action for Rehabilitation Faculty at HBCUs ABSTRACT The purpose of this grant proposal is to seek funding to assist in the implementation of a conference that will facilitate the development of a research agenda to address rehabilitation specific health disparity issues in African American communities. Specifically, this conference will seek to engage rehabilitation faculty at the 20 historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) with rehabilitation programs and six (6) professional associations in the creation of a research agenda related to rehabilitative health and health disparities. For the purposes of this conference, rehabilitation programs includes the 37 programs in occupational therapy, physical therapy, prosthetics and orthotics, rehabilitation counseling, and speech language-pathology that are housed at HBCUs. Significant research on the health disparities affecting African Americans and other minority communities is presented in the literature. However, little investigation has addressed the role of rehabilitation providers in the health disparity of African American rehabilitative health. Much of the available research on the topic has focused on physician directed intervention, health policy, and on differences among groups of individuals. Information regarding the effect of biases, education, and professional roles and responsibilities of rehabilitation providers on service provision is lacking. Faculty at HBCUs are uniquely positioned to address and to seek avenues to promote health equity for African Americans. This conference will serve to empower participants to contribute to the development of a research agenda that will be shared with other faculty, students and professional associations. It is expected that a research agenda for rehabilitative health and health disparities, which specifically addresses the African American community, will be created when rehabilitation faculty from HBCUs and representatives of related associations are brought together for that purpose. The specific aims of this conference are to: 1) develop a national research agenda that addresses rehabilitative health and health disparities by faculty of HBCUs with rehabilitation programs; 2) create a network of faculty members and others who collectively work to improve health equity for African Americans in rehabilitation settings; and 3) facilitate faculty development through collaborative efforts. Results of the conference will be published online and in print. Funding for this conference will support up to $800 in travel and housing for at least 43 faculty members, six (6) association representatives and seven (7) facilitators. More participants will be funded if costs allow. This conference will be hosted by the Center to Advance Rehabilitative Health and Education (CARE) and the College of Health Sciences at Alabama State University in Montgomery, Alabama. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Relevance: Annually, millions of individuals receive rehabilitation services provided by occupational therapists, physical therapists, prosthetists/orthotists, rehabilitation counselors, and speech- language pathologists who address health related needs. Disparities in healthcare are well documented. However, little is known about the relationship between services offered by rehabilitation professionals and health disparities, especially for African Americans.

描述（由申请人提供）：会议名称：康复健康和健康差距：HBCUs康复学院的行动呼吁摘要本赠款提案的目的是寻求资金，以协助实施一个会议，这将有助于制定一个研究议程，以解决非裔美国人社区康复特定的健康差距问题。具体来说，本次会议将寻求在20个历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的康复教师与康复计划和六（6）专业协会在创建一个研究议程有关的康复健康和健康差距。为了这次会议的目的，康复计划包括HBCU的职业治疗，物理治疗，假肢和矫形，康复咨询和语言病理学的37个计划。有关影响非裔美国人和其他少数族裔社区的健康差距的重要研究已在文献中提出。然而，很少有调查已经解决了康复服务提供者在非洲裔美国人康复健康的健康差距的作用。关于这一主题的大部分现有研究都集中在医生指导的干预，卫生政策和个人群体之间的差异。关于偏见的影响，教育，专业角色和康复服务提供者的责任是缺乏信息。HBCUs的教师处于独特的地位，可以解决并寻求促进非裔美国人健康公平的途径。本次会议将有助于使与会者能够为制定研究议程做出贡献，该议程将与其他教师，学生和专业协会共享。预计，当HBCUs的康复教师和相关协会的代表为此目的聚集在一起时，将创建一个专门针对非裔美国人社区的康复健康和健康差距的研究议程。本次会议的具体目标是：1）制定一个国家研究议程，通过康复计划解决HBCU教师的康复健康和健康差距; 2）创建一个教师和其他人的网络，他们共同努力改善非裔美国人在康复环境中的健康公平;和3）通过合作努力促进教师发展。会议的结果将在网上和印刷品中公布。本次会议的资金将支持至少43名教职员工，六（6）协会代表和七（7）主持人的旅行和住房高达800美元。如果费用允许，将资助更多的参与者。这次会议将由中心，以促进生殖健康和教育（关怀）和健康科学学院在亚拉巴马州立大学蒙哥马利，亚拉巴马。 公共卫生相关性：相关性：每年有数百万人接受职业治疗师、物理治疗师、假肢师/矫形师、康复咨询师和语言病理学家提供的康复服务，他们解决与健康有关的需求。医疗保健方面的差异有据可查。然而，很少有人知道康复专业人员提供的服务和健康差距之间的关系，特别是对非洲裔美国人。
