Item The Importance of Teaching History of Inequities in Public Health Programs(SAGE Journals, 2020-04-06) Fleming, PaulLearning the history of inequities is typically not a major part of public health degree programs but can be fundamental to truly understanding health inequities and identifying potential solutions. A historical perspective on inequities can help understand present-day inequities as constructed over time, provide needed context for community engagement efforts, and help identify the system of advantages and disadvantages based on race, gender, and class that have been built into U.S. society. There are many ways to integrate a historical perspective on inequities into public health degree programs, and this article provides an example course on historical roots of health inequities. To more effectively reduce health inequities, it is imperative that Schools and Programs of Public Health adopt curriculum content to provide public health professionals and researchers a much-needed historical perspective on inequities.Item Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Health and Health Care among U.S. Adolescents(2012) Lau, May; Lin, Hua; Flores, GlennAbstract available at publisher's website.Item Estimating treated prevalence and service utilization rates: Assessing disparities in mental health(2010) Laska, Eugene M.; Meisner, Morris; Wanderling, Joseph; Siegel, CaroleAbstract available at publisher's website.Item Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Pain Management in the United States(2006) Ezenwa, Miriam O.; Ameringer, Suzanne; Ward, Sandra E.; Serlin, Ronald C.Abstract available at publisher's website.Item A Historical Overview of Health Disparities and the Potential of eHealth Solutions(2005) Gibbons, Michael COver the past decade, a rapidly expanding body of literature has demonstrated the existence of disparities in health and health care. While consensus has not emerged regarding the causes of disparities, they are generally thought to be related to sociocultural, behavioral, economic, environmental, biologic, or societal factors. To effectively address disparities, several authorities have suggested the need for greater information technology research and investments. eHealth researchers may be able to make significant contributions in this area through research and its applications. This paper begins with a historical overview of health disparities in the United States and Europe. It then discusses the role that the Internet, and access to the Internet, may play in the genesis of health disparities. Finally, this paper closes with a discussion of the potential benefits of eHealth applications and the possible contributions of the field to overcoming disparities in health and health care.Item Devising, Implementing, and Evaluating Interventions to Eliminate Health Care Disparities in Minority Children(2009) Flores, G.Abstract available at publisher's website.Item Policy Interventions to Address Child Health Disparities: Moving Beyond Health Insurance(2009) Currie, J.Abstract available at publisher's website.Item Conceptualizing Child Health Disparities: A Role for Developmental Neurogenomics(2009) Francis, D.
