MINORITY CAPACITY BUILDING IN HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH

卫生服务研究作为其领域，面临着 美国医疗保健提供系统，包括：有效性和成本 移植或新药疗法等治疗；护理质量； 保健提供系统的不足之处；结果、成本效益、 成本效益、护理研究的适当性；以及 政府医疗保健政策对个人和 制度层面。在这些问题的研究中，重要的是 研究人员要对特殊情况的性质和需求敏感 少数群体和弱势群体。然而， 目前几乎没有卫生服务研究得到足够的资金 在研究设计或分析方面针对特殊人群。 此外，少数群体的代表性严重不足。 接受AHCPR资金的主要调查人员。要解决这些问题 问题，美国医学院协会提出一项 与AHCPR达成合作协议，以开展以下工作： 1.召开全国卫生服务研究问题和工作会议 特殊人群“，以激发人们对以下问题的研究兴趣 特殊人群。 2.成立少数民族教师健康专业发展学院 针对少数族裔培训需求的服务研究 卫生服务研究方面的研究人员。 3.激发人们对卫生服务的兴趣，并提高其声望 通过AAMC开展医学院校和教学医院的研究 出版物和会议。 4.使用AAMC教员花名册数据库，匹配少数民族医疗 学校教职员工对大多数教职员工进行对照样本并检查 MEDLARS数据库了解更多关于不同研究兴趣的信息 两个教职员工组(如果有)。这样做的主要目的是 确定少数群体研究人员是否发表关于少数群体问题的文章，请访问 比他们的大多数同行更高的利率。

Health services research has as its domain issues confronting the U.S..health care delivery system, including: effectiveness and cost of treatments such as transplants or new drug regimens; quality of care; inadequacies in health care delivery systems; outcomes, cost benefit, cost effectiveness, and appropriateness of care research; and, implications of government health care policies at the individual and institutional level. In the study of these issues, it is important for researchers to be sensitive to the nature and needs of special populations such as minorities and disadvantaged persons. However, little health services research currently being funded adequately addresses special populations in either research design or analysis. Furthermore, there is significant underrepresentation of minority principal investigators receiving AHCPR funding. To address these issues, the Association of American Medical Colleges proposes a cooperative agreement with AHCPR to do the following: 1. Hold a national conference on "Health Services Research Issues and Special Populations" to generate research interest in issues related to special populations. 2. Hold a Minority Faculty Professional Development Institute in Health Services Research to address the need for training of minority researchers in health services research. 3. Generate interest in, and raise the prestige of, health services research in medical schools and teaching hospitals through AAMC publications and meetings. 4. Using the, AAMC Faculty Roster Database, match minority medical school faculty to a control sample of majority faculty and examine the MEDLARS databases to learn more about the differing research interests (if any) of the two faculty groups. The primary purpose of this is to determine if minority researchers publish articles on minority issues at higher rates than their majority counterparts.
