项目摘要

Good health is not shared equally among the residents of New York State. Health disparities between Blacks and Whites are particularly evident in the city of Buffalo (population 258,000, Buffalo Niagara region 1.13 million), which is among the poorest cities in the US with 31% living in poverty, leading to significant health disparities. The life expectancy of African Americans, who make up 39% of Buffalo residents, is 12 years shorter compared to that of White residents of Buffalo. Much of this health inequity results from social determinants of health, which include underdeveloped neighborhoods, failing schools, high unemployment, low property values, poor access to public transportation, food deserts, lead contamination in homes, and poor access to healthcare. In partnership with the African American Health Equity Task Force (AAHETF), we propose to conduct an annual community-based multidisciplinary conference entitled the Igniting Hope series with a goal to continue the dialogue on developing a strategy, which builds a culture of health as the cornerstone of a plan to end health disparities among African Americans in Buffalo. Led by local pastors and including University at Buffalo faculty from eight schools, advocates, citizens, and healthcare professionals, the AAHETF is an influential community- based group that has made significant progress in bringing awareness to the needs of the community, creating a network, establishing a vision, organizing fund-raising efforts, and beginning the work of disseminating our findings regarding minority health disparities in the region with a focus on the social determinants of health. The audience will include community leaders and stakeholders, university faculty and trainees from multiple disciplines, including medicine, nursing, public health, pharmacy, urban planning, law, education and business. We propose an innovative conference that includes keynote talks by national leaders in health disparities and facilitated breakout sessions. Our goals are to deepen understanding of how social determinants affect health research and health outcomes in the African American community and other underrepresented groups (Aim 1); build on the innovative health intervention strategies that have resulted from the initial conferences to promote research to develop and test innovative solutions for eliminating health disparities (Aim 2); and engage trainees from diverse backgrounds in an interactive conference and follow-up activities to attract the next generation of health equity researchers into the discipline (Aim 3). The conference will be held at the new UB medical school building located in one of the neighborhoods most affected by health disparities. The proposed conference will educate faculty, trainees and the community; foster new collaborations; and will be a primary means through which the AAHETF will take a leadership role to have a true impact on health disparities in our region.

在纽约州居民中，身体状况不佳。彼此之间的健康差异黑人和白人在布法罗市尤为明显（人口258,000，布法罗·尼亚加拉地区1.13 百万），这是美国最贫穷的城市之一，在贫困中生活了31％，导致了重大健康状况差异。占布法罗居民39％的非洲裔美国人的预期寿命短12年与布法罗的白人居民相比。这种健康不平等的大部分是由健康，包括不发达的社区，失败的学校，高失业率，低财产价值，无法获得公共交通，食品沙漠，房屋中的铅污染以及获得医疗保健的不良途径。与非裔美国人健康公平工作组（AAHETF）合作，我们建议进行年度基于社区的多学科会议标题为“点火希望系列”，其目标是继续关于制定战略的对话，该战略建立了健康文化，作为结束健康计划的基石布法罗非裔美国人之间的差异。由当地牧师领导，包括布法罗教师的大学 AAHETF来自八所学校，倡导者，公民和医疗保健专业人员，是一个有影响力的社区 - 在提高社区需求方面取得了重大进展的基于重大进展的小组网络，建立愿景，组织筹款努力，并开始传播我们的工作有关该地区少数族裔健康差异的结果，重点是卫生的社会决定因素。这观众将包括来自多个的社区领导者和利益相关者，大学教师和学员学科，包括医学，护理，公共卫生，药房，城市规划，法律，教育和商业。我们提出了一个创新会议，包括国家健康差异和促进突破性会议。我们的目标是加深对社会决定因素如何影响健康的理解非裔美国人社区和其他代表性不足的群体的研究和健康成果（AIM 1）；建立在最初会议促进的创新健康干预策略的基础上研究和测试消除健康差异的创新解决方案的研究（AIM 2）；并吸引学员从互动会议和后续活动中的不同背景来吸引下一代卫生公平研究人员进入该学科（AIM 3）。会议将在新的UB医学院举行建筑物位于最受健康差异影响的社区之一。拟议的会议将教育教师，学员和社区；培养新的合作；并将成为主要手段 AAHETF将扮演领导角色，以对我们地区的健康差异产生真正的影响。
