Current trends in health disparities research

On September 4 and 5, the fall faculty development series kicked with two workshops that addressed current trends in health disparities research. Dr. Melissa Gosdin discussed how to define the concept of "disparity", and elaborated on some of the determinants of health disparities. Dr. Judith Rosenbaum then went into two of the main trends seen in grant writing and publications centered on health disparities: the use of health behavior change models and evidence-based research. The powerpoint presentation for the workshop can be found below.
