DEFINITION OF HEALTH DISPARITY
A Health Disparity should be viewed as a chain of events signified by a difference in:
• Environment
• Access to, utilization of, and quality of care
• Health status or a particular health outcome
- Public Health Reports Sept/Oct 2002 Vol 117 Pgs 426-4343

Types of Diverse Groups
-- Current health disparities research focuses on differences across race/ethnic groups
-- Much prior research examined differences by socioeconomic status (SES):– Low income vs. others
– Low education vs. others
--Both are “vulnerable” populationsAnita Stewart, 2004

Vulnerable and or Minority populations have worse health than their counterparts in….: -- Premature mortality including infant mortality-- Morbidity
– Chronic disease (heart disease, diabetes, cancer)– Communicable disease (TB)– Low birth weight– Physiological risk factors – Hypertension– Obesity/overweight
-- Functional limitations, disability-- Self-rated health-- Mental Health Outcomes-- Life Stage (children, young adults, adults, older adults)

Three Broad Types of Conceptual Frameworks
-- Population science– Determinants of health in a population– Samples are populations or population subgroups
-- Health services research– How health care affects outcomes– Samples are patients or health plan members
-- Biology/physiology– Biological and genetic pathways to disease– In Vitro Systems (e.g., cellular and tissue level)

Population-Based Determinants: Multiple Levels of Influence on Health
-- Individual
– biological, behaviors, attitudes, age, education, occupation
-- Family– size, structure, support, beliefs
-- Neighborhood, schools or community– resources, disinvestment, toxins, crime/poverty,
neighborhood desirability

Adiponection: A Potential Link Between Obesity and Diabetes
1. Research acknowledges that adipose tissue secretes a number of active protein (Pittas et al., 2004).
2. Adiponectin (adipose specific protein) shown to be highly abundant in health subjects, lower in obese subjects and people with type 2 diabetes (Yang et al., 2001).
3. Adiponectin is positively associated with glucose tolerance, insulin secretion, and insulin sensitivity (Cote et al., 2005)
4. African American men and women were found to have lower levels of adiponectin than their white counterparts (Hulver et al., 2004)

Adiponection: A Potential Link Between Obesity and Diabetes
“African-American youth (5-16 yrs) have significantly lower levels of adiponectic compared to whites, despite similar age,
BMI, and total adiposity.”

About the Center The Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities
Research and Education (CMHDRE) began on January 14, 2002 with the endowment award from the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
This award was used to establish the Xavier Pharmacy Endowment for Minority Health.
Subsequent proposals were submitted to NCMHD in order to increase the corpus of the fund resulting in the current total of approximately $29.2 Million.

About the Center
The Xavier Pharmacy Endowment for Minority Health is used to support the activities of the CMHDRE in the College of Pharmacy.
The mission of the Center is to provide the infrastructure that is required to conduct research and provide clinical experiential training and community outreach aimed at eliminating health disparities.

Four Objectives Four overarching objectives have been established for the
CMHDRE. The concrete steps to achieve these objectives are outlined in the CMHDRE Action Plan.– To provide an environment to support and strengthen the
research interest and activities of current and new faculty members related to health disparities with a specific focus on diabetes and cancer.
– To develop student-oriented programs to support student research and promote post-graduate education.
– To integrate health promotion, education, and disease prevention into primary care services.
– Conduct multi-disciplinary research to reduce health disparities.36

Family influences on children’s eating
A range of factors have been shown in small scale studies in the USA to influence children’s eating:
– Parent-child feeding relationship
– Food availability and accessibility
– Media exposure
– Opportunities for modeling
Few population studies conducted Kathleen Colleran, 2010

– Family rules (activity and sedentary)
– Parental modelling
– Parental support and encouragement

The best dietary approach is one that the child will most likely follow with a high level of compliance.
Trim Kids includes a combination of nutrients and daily calorie levels that best promote the optimal schedule of weight loss or maintenance based on the child’s : Medical & family history Current weight condition or obesity level Age

Sample Topics
Snack Food Jeopardy: Children identify the healthy snacks by guessing the
calories and sugar grams Fast Food Follies
Dietician calculates fat and sugar grams of typical fast food meal; squeezes french fries
Stir Fry Cooking Students join in to cook and sample
Sugar Lab: Guess the Grams How many teaspoons in one soft drink?
Create Your Own Parfait Children create parfaits with low fat yogurt, sugar-
free topping, fruit and nuts

Methods to Increase Vegetable Intake
Three bite rule: Grade the vegetables:
A = excellent, let’s have this more often C = OK, we’ll try again F = No way
Involve children in grocery shopping and meal preparation. Skip the snack isle and let them choose their favorite fruit and veggie.
Sothern, Schumacher, von Almen, 2001

Nutrition for Overweight Children
Teach young children that it’s OK to leave food on the plate (Birch, 1980 and 1995; Spruijt-Metz, 2002; Rolls, 2004)
(It really won’t hurt the poor children in Africa) Don’t place a moral value on food. Teach children that all food is OK; some is “grow tall or
big” food and some is not. Never give food as a reward.
Sothern, Schumacher, von Almen, 2001

What Does the Research Say? Behavioral counseling interventions
(Grade I & II): 25 RCTs; 14 other design
7 RCT’s compared behavioral counseling to standard care All showed significant reductions in adiposity
compared to standard care Many were based on well-established theories Most included basic behavioral techniques Only 2 studies examined the independent contribution
of different techniques
