- Abstract
The author discusses the need for new health disparities intervention research based upon the experience of the Centers for Population Health and Health Disparities (CPHHD) Program. Topics include the effectiveness of interventions addressing social determinants of health to reduce health disparities, the potential use of genomic strategies to determine population health disparities, and the enhancement of communication and cultural competency in health professionals to improve healthcare equity.
