DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of North Texas Health Science Center established the Texas Center for Health Disparities to conduct education, research and outreach activities to eliminate health disparities. As part of its education and outreach activitis, the Center has been has organized very successful annual health disparity conferences for the past five years supported and funded in part by the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) focusing on different areas of health disparities. The Seventh Annual Conference on Health Disparities will be held July 12th and 13th, 2012 at the University of North Texas Health Science Center. The overall theme for the conference is "Battling Breast Cancer Disparities: Frontline Strategies!". Striking health disparities exist in the area of breast cancer. Occurrence of breast cancer is disproportionate in premenopausal and AA women. AA women develop highly aggressive tumors and have higher mortality rate than other groups. Premenopausal AA women are not only at a higher risk of breast cancer (33%) compared to Caucasian women (25%), but also are at a high risk of developing TNBC. This conference will feature nationally recognized speakers, patients, survivors and community speakers, and interactive debates highlighting the striking disparities and frontline strategies to overcome thes disparities in breast cancer. Of specific focus will be Prevention Strategies in Medicine and Community with emphasis on Community Based solutions. Educational and interactive presentations, panel discussions and questions/ answer sessions will identify the challenges and bring conference attendees closer to developing a prospectus for the future. The Specific Aims of this application are: 1) Enhance health disparity knowledge of the health care practitioners and policy makers, and 2) Serve as a resource for the minority communities to disseminate health information, promote community participation in health education and research, and to implement disease prevention activities. The expected outcome will be increased participation of health care practitioners in minority communities and awareness of policy makers in the existing health disparities. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Health disparities are a significant challenge to the health and well being of Americans. Elimination of health disparities necessitates a full understanding of the existence of health disparities as well as best practices and novel solutions to the problem. The annual Texas Conference on Health Disparities addresses these goals.

描述（由申请人提供）：北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心建立了德克萨斯州健康差距中心，以开展教育、研究和推广活动，以消除健康差距。作为其教育和外展活动的一部分，该中心在过去五年中组织了非常成功的年度健康差异会议，并得到了国家少数族裔健康和健康差异中心 (NCMD) 的部分支持和资助，重点关注不同领域的健康差异。第七届健康差异年会将于 2012 年 7 月 12 日至 13 日在北德克萨斯大学健康科学中心举行。会议的总体主题是“对抗乳腺癌差异：前线策略！”。乳房领域存在显着的健康差异 癌症。乳腺癌的发生率在绝经前和 AA 女性中不成比例。 AA 女性会患上高度侵袭性的肿瘤，并且比其他群体的死亡率更高。与白人女性 (25%) 相比，绝经前 AA 女性不仅患乳腺癌的风险更高 (33%)，而且患 TNBC 的风险也很高。本次会议将有全国知名的演讲者、患者、幸存者和社区演讲者参加，并进行互动辩论，强调乳腺癌方面的显着差异和克服这些差异的一线策略。特别关注的是医学和社区的预防策略，重点是基于社区的解决方案。教育和互动演示、小组讨论和问答环节将确定挑战，并使与会者更接近制定未来的招股说明书。该应用程序的具体目标是：1）增强医疗保健从业者和政策制定者的健康差异知识，2）作为少数群体社区传播健康信息、促进社区参与健康教育和研究以及实施疾病预防活动的资源。预期成果将是少数群体社区卫生保健从业人员的参与度提高以及政策制定者对现有健康差距的认识。 公共卫生相关性：健康差异是对美国人的健康和福祉的重大挑战。消除健康差距需要充分了解 健康差异的存在以及问题的最佳实践和新颖的解决方案。一年一度的德克萨斯州健康差异会议致力于实现这些目标。
