Center Affiliations:

2003-2011 Director, Mary Amelia Douglas-Whited Community Women‘s

Health Education Center, Tulane University Health Science

Center,

New Orleans, LA, U.S.

In 2000, the Frost Foundation granted Tulane University National Center

of Excellence in Women‘s Health unrestricted funding to assist in

continuing the work in their Women‘s Health Projects. In January 2003,

the Frost Foundation pledged $5 million to name the Mary Amelia

Douglas-Whited Community Women‘s Health Education Center. The

Mary Amelia Center serves as a comprehensive, community-oriented

health education center by providing health education programs that are

culturally, geographically, and age appropriate. With an ecological

approach to health promotion focuses on sharing, building and

empowering, the center recognize that providing health information is

only a small part of fostering healthy individuals and communities.

2002-2005 Medical Director, Tulane Total Women‘s Health Care Center,

Tulane University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, LA,

U.S.

This center provided comprehensive clinical care to women across the

lifespan. This was a multidisciplinary clinic with Nurse Practitioners,

Medical Doctors and Social Workers practicing in the clinic. Family

medicine, general internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology,

rheumatology, hematology, endocrinology, reproductive endocrinology

and infertility as well as psychiatry were represented. 65% of our patients

were African American. We had an active bone health program as well

as several health education programs in the clinic that was closed due to

Hurricane Katrina flooding our clinic with four feet of water.

1999-2011 Director, Tulane Xavier National Center of Excellence in

Women‘s Health, Tulane University Health Science Center,

U.S. Office of Women‘s Health, Department of Health and Human

Services in October 1998 with the purpose to “support innovative

national model program projects for comprehensive and coordinated

women’s health care, public and health care professional education, and

research.” The Center is a collaborative effort of Tulane University and

Xavier University of Louisiana. The Center has so far raised around $12

mill in research and program funding from DHHS, CDC, NIH, HRSA,

MCHB, the Frost Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, Pharmaceutical

companies, and Tulane University.

The research plan includes a meta-analysis designed to assess the effects of prior intervention efforts to change social

norms relevant to child maltreatment, a qualitative study to explore issues relevant to informing theory, instrument,

and intervention development regarding corporal punishment use and child maltreatment risk, and a community-

based survey to explore associations and variations between perceived social norms about corporal punishment,

The fourth cycle of the program is dedicated to promoting Women‘s Health research and the subsequent transfer of

findings. In order to improve the quality and increase the quantity of Women‘s Health research Tulane BIRCWH

bridge the period between advanced training and research independence, as well as link professions, scientific

disciplines, and areas of interest for selected scholars. This ensure, in a thoughtfully mentored setting, the necessary

protected time for both didactic learning and research training such that the program will ultimately produce

exceedingly competent junior faculty members who will achieve research independence.

Program

$2,300,000 NIH

The Tulane BIRCWH bridged the period between advanced training and research independence in a mentored

setting. In this program, 9 of11 BIRCWH Scholars were females, and include one African American and three Asian

Scholars. During our first four years we successfully supported 11 (4 current) very junior faculty members,

comprising 1MD, 5MD MPH/MSc, 1MD PhD, 3PhD, 1PhD MPH. The research undertaken spanned from

translational, to patient-oriented to epidemiological and health services outcomes research. This exemplary group of

junior faculty had since entering the program collectively, published (or in press) 95 peer reviewed papers and

presented 72 abstracts at national and international conferences by 2007, and was on track for developing

independent research careers. The majority of the first cohort is now funded as PI‘s or Co-PI‘s on NIH grants.
