DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Eliminating Minority Health Disparities in the SF Bay Area, California Abstract: This grant application requests two-year support for Annual SFSU Human Rights Summits sponsored and coordinated by the Global Peace, Human Rights and Justice Studies Program, the Institute for Civic and Community Engagement, the Health Equity Institute, and the Center for Health Disparities Research and Training at San Francisco State University. SFSU is a minority-serving institution (MSI) committed to promoting equity and social justice for both campus and external constituencies through the diversity of its students and employees. The 7th Annual SFSU Human Rights Summit will be held on May 15-17, 2010, at the Cesar Chavez Student Center at SFSU, CA, a handicapped accessible facility. The conference theme is Health and Education Equity. The overall goal of each of the Summits is to provide a forum for discussion about the various challenges, solutions, and opportunities to prevent and eliminate health disparities in poor underserved neighborhoods and in ethnic minorities from a human rights perspective. When basic human rights are protected, health equity naturally ensues. The San Francisco Bay Area in California, inhabited by 7.4 million people, is a minority-majority area, as non-Hispanic whites comprise less than half of its population. Ethnic minority groups in the SF Bay Area, following a national trend, suffer disproportionately from a number of preventable diseases and health problems, including mental illness, diabetes, asthma, and cancer. Participants will discuss best practices in social and behavioral research, encourage and solidify local networking connections, and examine community-based participatory research methods for collaboration among researchers, health professionals, community leaders, and human rights advocates. The annual SFSU human rights summits have consistently drawn a large, diverse, and dynamic group of participants--last year's 6th annual summit on Health Equity was attended by more than 2000 people including graduate and undergraduate students, and faculty at SFSU, UCSF, UCB, USF, Stanford, and local community colleges, as well as advocates, health professionals, policymakers, researchers, and community leaders from all over the country. The social and cultural aspects of inequality have emerged throughout the initial six summits as key determinants of ill health. The prevention and elimination of structural, interpersonal, and symbolic barriers to health equity are thus necessary for the achievement of optimal health in all communities, including those that are socially disadvantaged. Recourse to the performing arts, including theater, dance, and spoken word is a unique feature of the summits, creating a forum for the cross-fertilization of interdisciplinary ideas that fill the gap in minority disparities research. We build each year upon the prior year's conference. All of the tools we develop-books, videos, brochures, websites, theater performances--are open source and publically available, including all materials from the summit. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: As human rights education becomes more integrated into public health, it is vital that all stakeholders have a forum to convene and share ideas in an open space. The proposed range of annual workshops and panels, will provide this vital link, and is likely to lead to improved health outcomes as a result of the trans-disciplinary community-based research collaborations and/or outreach activities that are fomented by the summit. Principal Investigator: Ferreira, Mariana Leal PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: As human rights education becomes more integrated into public health, it is vital that all stakeholders have a forum to convene and share ideas in an open space. The proposed range of speakers, workshops, panels, and multimedia performances at SFSU will provide this vital link. The conference is likely to engage minority participants in research and community-oriented projects designed to produce health equity, as a result of the trans-disciplinary collaborations and outreach activities fomented by the summit.

描述(由申请人提供)：消除加利福尼亚州旧金山湾区的少数族裔健康差距摘要：此赠款申请请求为SFSU年度人权峰会提供为期两年的支持，该峰会由全球和平、人权和司法研究计划、公民和社区参与研究所、卫生公平研究所以及旧金山州立大学健康差距研究和培训中心赞助和协调。旧金山州立大学是一所为少数群体服务的机构(MSI)，致力于通过其学生和员工的多样性促进校园和外部选民的公平和社会正义。第七届旧金山州立大学人权峰会将于2010年5月15日至17日在加州旧金山州立大学的塞萨尔·查韦斯学生中心举行，该中心是一家残疾人无障碍设施。会议的主题是健康和教育公平。每次首脑会议的总目标是提供一个论坛，讨论从人权角度预防和消除贫困社区和少数民族健康差距的各种挑战、解决办法和机会。当基本人权得到保护时，健康公平自然随之而来。加利福尼亚州的旧金山湾区有740万人口，是一个少数族裔占多数的地区，因为非西班牙裔白人占人口的不到一半。顺应全国趋势，顺丰湾区的少数民族群体不成比例地患有一些可预防的疾病和健康问题，包括精神疾病、糖尿病、哮喘和癌症。与会者将讨论社会和行为研究的最佳实践，鼓励和巩固本地网络联系，并研究基于社区的参与性研究方法，以便研究人员、卫生专业人员、社区领导人和人权倡导者之间的合作。一年一度的旧金山州立大学人权峰会一直吸引着一大批不同的、充满活力的参与者--去年的第六届卫生公平年度峰会有2000多人参加，包括研究生和本科生，以及旧金山州立大学、加州大学旧金山分校、加州大学洛杉矶分校、加州大学旧金山分校、斯坦福大学和当地社区大学的教职员工，以及来自全国各地的倡导者、卫生专业人员、政策制定者、研究人员和社区领袖。在最初的六次首脑会议期间，不平等的社会和文化方面一直是健康状况不佳的关键决定因素。因此，预防和消除妨碍健康公平的结构性、人际和象征性障碍对于在所有社区实现最佳健康是必要的，包括那些处于社会不利地位的社区。诉诸表演艺术，包括戏剧、舞蹈和口语，是峰会的一个独特特点，为跨学科思想的交叉滋养创造了一个论坛，填补了少数族裔差异研究的空白。我们每年都在前一年会议的基础上再接再厉。我们开发的所有工具--书籍、视频、宣传册、网站、戏剧表演--都是开源的，公开可用，包括峰会的所有材料。与公共卫生的相关性：随着人权教育更多地融入公共卫生，至关重要的是所有利益攸关方都有一个论坛，在一个开放的空间聚集和交流想法。拟议的一系列年度讲习班和小组讨论将提供这一重要联系，并可能由于首脑会议所推动的跨学科社区研究合作和/或外联活动而改善健康结果。首席调查员：Ferreira，Mariana Leal：随着人权教育更多地融入公共卫生，至关重要的是所有利益攸关方都有一个论坛，在开放的空间聚集和分享想法。SFSU拟议的演讲者、研讨会、小组讨论和多媒体表演将提供这一至关重要的联系。这次会议可能会促使少数群体与会者参与旨在实现卫生公平的研究和面向社区的项目，这是峰会引发的跨学科合作和外联活动的结果。
