The DC Primary Care Association (DCPCA) seeks funding for a research dissemination conference, "Race, Class and Health: Long and Healthy Lives for All." The purpose of the event, lasting a day and a half (June 12/13, 2003) is twofold. First, the conference will improve local policymaking and clinical practices in a manner to decrease health disparities. Second, it will increase awareness among national policymakers and the general public of disparities in health care access and health outcomes. Because DC is a microcosm of disparities observed in urban areas across the country, and because it is the nation's capital, the conference is expected to have widespread applicability and to garner the attention of a national audience, including policymakers. It will be planned by DCPCA management in collaboration with the DC Area Health Education Center (representing DC's academic health centers), Maryland and Connecticut PCAs, Families USA, a national nonprofit group advocating health care for all, and the federal Office of Minority Health. An estimated 250 to 300 persons will attend. There will be no cost to participants. The event will be held at Howard University, a historically black institution in DC. Locally, the conference is needed to reduce disparities in access to care and health status in both DC and Maryland, where the contrasts by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status are stark. Nationally it is needed to raise awareness of health disparities, to motivate national leaders in government, business, and the nonprofit sector to reduce disparities, and to provide policy and clinical strategies for reducing disparities. The core document on which the conference is based is the recently released report from the Institute of Medicine, "Unequal Treatment," which summarizes research on health disparities, their causes, and interventions designed to reduce disparities. The conference will offer both Policy and Clinical Tracks tailored to the needs of policymakers and clinicians. In all, 16 sessions will be offered, including two plenary sessions, six Policy and six Clinical Track sessions, and concluding panel discussions for each track, including final recommendations and audience questions. Evaluation forms will include Likert and open-ended items for each session and the conference as a whole. In addition, a telephone survey will be completed 30 days after the conference to determine the applicability to participant worksites.

哥伦比亚特区初级保健协会 (DCPCA) 正在为“种族、阶级与健康：所有人的长寿与健康生活”研究传播会议寻求资金。 该活动持续一天半（2003 年 6 月 12 日/13 日），其目的是双重的。首先，会议将改善地方决策和临床实践，以缩小健康差距。 其次，它将提高国家政策制定者和公众对医疗保健获取和健康结果差异的认识。 由于华盛顿特区是全国城市地区差异的缩影，而且它是国家首都，因此会议预计将具有广泛的适用性，并吸引包括政策制定者在内的全国观众的关注。 该计划将由 DCPCA 管理层与华盛顿特区健康教育中心（代表华盛顿特区的学术健康中心）、马里兰州和康涅狄格州 PCA、美国家庭组织（倡导全民医疗保健的全国性非营利组织）以及联邦少数族裔健康办公室合作规划。 预计将有 250 至 300 人参加。 参与者无需支付任何费用。 该活动将在华盛顿特区历史悠久的黑人大学霍华德大学举行。 在当地，需要召开这次会议来减少华盛顿特区和马里兰州在获得护理和健康状况方面的差异，因为这两个地区的种族、民族和社会经济地位之间的差异非常明显。 在全国范围内，需要提高对健康差异的认识，激励政府、企业和非营利部门的国家领导人减少差异，并提供减少差异的政策和临床策略。 会议所依据的核心文件是医学研究所最近发​​布的报告《不平等待遇》，该报告总结了有关健康差异、其原因以及旨在减少差异的干预措施的研究。 会议将提供根据政策制定者和临床医生的需求量身定制的政策和临床轨道。 总共将举办 16 场会议，包括两场全体会议、六场政策会议和六场临床分会场，以及每个分会场的总结小组讨论，包括最终建议和观众问题。 评估表将包括每场会议和整个会议的李克特和开放式项目。 此外，会议后 30 天将完成电话调查，以确定是否适用于参与者工作地点。
