We stand in solidarity with our Black, Asian and minority ethnic members and colleagues against the evil of racism that infects societies across the world - including here in the UK. The shocking death of George Floyd demonstrated a hatred that Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities here face daily, whether through overt racism or more insidious, unspoken discrimination.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Twenty years post-NIH Revitalization Act. T2 - enhancing minority participation in clinical trials (EMPaCT): laying the groundwork for improving minority clinical trial accrual: renewing the case for enhancing minority participation in cancer clinical trials.. AU - Chen, Moon S.. AU - Lara, Primo N.. AU - Dang, Julie H T. AU - Paterniti, Debora A.. AU - Kelly, Karen. PY - 2014. Y1 - 2014. N2 - The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Revitalization Act of 1993 mandated the appropriate inclusion of minorities in all NIH-funded research. Twenty years after this act, the proportion of minority patients enrolled in cancer clinical trials remains persistently low. Clinical trials are vehicles for the development and evaluation of therapeutic and preventive agents under scientifically rigorous conditions. Without representation in trials, it is projected that disparities in the cancer burden for minorities will increase. For this review article, the authors counted the frequency with ...
In this study we showed that mechanisms in paediatric asthma care that lead to deficiencies in the care process for ethnic minority children were mainly related to non-adherence. It seems that most factors our respondents discussed (such as influence of social context factors and difficulties in understanding asthma as a chronic disease) are not related to ethnic minority patients in particular. Rather, they emphasise certain aspects of asthma care that are likely to create problems in the general patient population.. Educational literature describes different stages of competence. In the stage conscious incompetence, care providers recognise mistakes and difficulties in their actions, and will be able to report them. However, this stage is preceded by the stage of unconscious incompetence: a stage in which learners (or care providers) are unaware of their incompetence [17] and therefore cannot report them. If applied to our study, this theory means that apart from the difficulties care ...
In the Netherlands, non-Western ethnic minority women make their first antenatal visit later than native Dutch women. Timely entry into antenatal care is important as it provides the opportunity for prenatal screening and the detection of risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes. In this study we explored whether womens timely entry is influenced by their neighborhood. Moreover, we assessed whether ethnic minority density (the proportion of ethnic minorities in a neighborhood) influences Western and non-Western ethnic minority womens chances of timely entry into care differently. We hypothesized that ethnic minority density has a protective effect against non-Western womens late entry into care. Data on time of entry into care and other individual-level characteristics were obtained from the Netherlands Perinatal Registry (2000-2008; 97% of all pregnancies). We derived neighborhood-level data from three other national databases. We included 1,137,741 pregnancies of women who started care ...
Although sociological literature reveals scattered references towomen as a minority group, comparable in certain resepcts to racial,ethnic, and national minorities, no systematic investigation has beenundertaken as to what extent the term minority group is applicableto women. That there has been little serious consideration of womenas a minority group among sociologists is manifested in the recentlyissued index to Thc American Journal of Sociology whereinunder the heading of Minority Groups there appears: See Jews;Morale; Negro; Races and Nationalities; Religious Groups; Sects.There is no cross-reference to women, but such reference isfound under the heading Family.. Yet it may well be that regarding women as a minority group may beproductive of fresh insights and suggest leads for further research.The purpose of this paper is to apply to women some portion of thatbody of sociological theory and methodology customarily used forinvestigating such minority groups as Negroes, Jews, ...
Despite documented health disparities among people from black and ethnic minority groups, the literature on interventions aiming to improve health and social outcomes for this disadvantaged population is scant. People from black and ethnic minority groups experiencing homelessness and mental illness face additional challenges, as traditional housing and support strategies may not adequately address their needs. To our knowledge, this is the first study examining the effectiveness of a HF program which has been specifically adapted for this population. Enhancing HF with anti-racist/anti-oppressive principles of practice for black and ethnic minority homeless adults with mental illness successfully improved housing stability and community functioning for this population, compared to usual care, at the Toronto site of the At Home/Chez Soi trial. Our findings are consistent with previous studies of HF using rent supplements and mental health services (ACT or ICM) which report improvements in housing ...

Introduction. Outline and account for the disadvantages experienced by minority ethnic groups in British society. Society is made up of a number of social divisions including age, sex, ethnicity, income, wealth and sexual orientation. Many theorists and critics have their own definition of social divisions. For example, Bilton et al (2002, p.70) states: In broad terms, the concept of social divisions refers to ways in which, either as individuals or more commonly as members of social groupings, we construct social differences among ourselves.... There has been a growing interest in the study of race and ethnicity in Britain over the course of the twentieth century. I, therefore, intend to discuss the difficulties faced by ethnic minority groups in Britain. It is also important to examine how ethnic minority groups are disadvantaged from access to other social rights - such as the rights to housing, education and employment (Ginsburg, 1998; Macey, 1995), which is what I intend to discuss ...
There is a powerful case to be made against the version of multiculturalism that abandons women in ethnic minority communities to second-class lives and the institutionalised bigotry of religious courts. One has an absolute duty to support liberal Muslims and ex-Muslims in the struggle against theocratic power and my generation of alleged liberals and leftists has disgraced itself by its failure to be adamant on this point.

Ethnic minority communities in many parts of Britain have become critically isolated from the mainstream, according to a government-backed review into opportunity and integration. The Casey Review, published in December, says predominantly Muslim communities are becoming increasingly divided from British society. The Review notes with urgency that a more concerted effort is needed to redress this situation, however key recommendations including an increased emphasis on British history and values in the school curriculum, along with an integration oath to be sworn by new migrants upon arrival into the UK, reveal a decidedly draconian approach.. Division and isolation cannot be considered separate from national and global trends which show increasing hostility towards minority ethnic communities. Integration is necessary, but Dame Louise Caseys plan is lopsided, requiring maximal effort from a barely captive audience of ethnic minorities, and virtually nothing from the non-immigrant British ...

Maz was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in 1990, and his kidney function declined gradually from then on. In 2012 his kidneys failed completely and he started dialysis.. His doctor initially told him that the average wait for a kidney transplant was five or six years for an Asian patient, due to a lack of suitable donors. Thankfully, Maz was on dialysis for 11 months before receiving a kidney from a deceased donor.. Maz said: I know how hard it is for certain communities to talk about donation. Sometimes religious beliefs can act as a barrier to donation - Im Muslim and I know there is concern that organ donation is un-Islamic. But it can save lives, so its important we spread the word amongst our peers.. ...

Authorities of Canada funding will assist develop and ship digital media content material in linguistic minority communities. WINNIPEG, MB, Aug. 4, 2021 /CNW/ - The Authorities of Canada helps join Canadians residing in official language minority communities throughout the West and North by investing in an internet initiative that can produce and ship culturally related digital media content material in French. The aim is to advertise on-line interplay between members of official language minority communities, giving them entry to native and regional content material they would not usually have and growing their sense of belonging past their province or territory. The Honourable Daniel Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs and Member of Parliament (Saint Boniface-Saint Very important), introduced at present that the Authorities of Canada is investing $3.8 million in Internet Ouest, a venture lead by the Société de la francophonie manitobaine in partnership with Productions Rivard. He made the ...

Looking at society at large, migrant and ethnic minority women are belonging to the most excluded and vulnerable groups in Europe. Thats why SPIN Women is designed to show the different perspectives of migrant and ethnic minority women and to develop strategies to increase their involvement in sports. ...
People from ethnic minorities remain disproportionately represented on mental health wards with no signs of this reducing, the Care Quality Commission revealed today.. The sixth and last Count Me In census found that 23% of 32,799 people receiving in-patient care in England and Wales were from ethnic minority groups, as of 31 March this year. The proportion is up by a percentage point from last years census and above the baseline of 2005, when the proportion was 20%, the CQC found. It compares to an ethnic minority population of 16% as of 2007.. The census found admission rates to hospitals were at least two times higher than average for people from black Caribbean, black African and mixed white/black groups in 2010. Rates of detention were between 19% and 32% above average for these groups.. The census has been undertaken annually since 2005 in support of the Department of Healths five-year plan for improving mental health services for people from ethnic minorities, Delivering Race Equality ...

In this edition of reSearch we explore the dual status of individuals with disabilities who are also members of racial or ethnic minority groups. Each persons experience of disability is shaped by their culture and community. Minorities with disabilities face a range of issues relating to access, health, and independence. As members of a minority group they experience barriers of a traditionally underserved community, and as individuals with disabilities they experience additional barriers within their own communities. Minorities with disabilities face higher unemployment and poverty rates, as well as less access to services, than their non-minority counterparts. Wright and Leung (1993) present the National Council on Disability findings on minorities with disabilities in their report to the President and Congress stating that As a group, [they] are more at risk, have fewer personal and family resources, have less knowledge and understanding of externally available resources, and fare less ...

Research focused on the factors that contribute to the practice of health promoting behaviors by racial and ethnic minority adolescents has been limited and inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to identify a subset of factors, including demographic, social, and environmental factors that are highly correlated with differences in the eating habits and exercise patterns of racial and ethnic minority adolescents. The study is of public health significance as the results may be used to improve the methods and strategies currently in practice to reduce and eliminate the disparities in health for racial and ethnic minorities. The sample was drawn from the final sample size for the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 cohort, which numbered 8,984. The study tested the hypothesis that differences in health-promoting behaviors among racial and ethnic minority groups are related to differences in the associations between the influential factors and the health-promoting behavior by racial and ...

The governments race disparity audit presents some basic facts about ethnic minorities and their position in the housing market. But incredibly, it says almost nothing about why the disparities with white British people occur. For example, the problem of discrimination is mentioned only once in the report, and then in relation to jobs. You can find statistics on whether people are stopped and searched by the police, but there is nothing on whether they feel discriminated against by private landlords, despite evidence that ethnic minorities pay higher rents, have poorer conditions and are more likely to be made homeless.. While there are a few mentions of ethnic minority groups use of benefits, there is no audit of the impact of the social security cuts made by this government and its predecessor, nor of the changes still in the pipeline. The review seems to ignore outside evidence, such as that by the Runnymede Trust which showed how ethnic minority women in particular have suffered ...
The objective of the project is a test-of-concept of an intervention to reduce the effects of the perception of discrimination on the care of patients with chronic illness. Perception of discrimination manifests itself as stereotype threat. We hypothesize that stereotype threat impairs communication between minority patients and their physicians because of increased stress and diminished trust, resulting in interactions that are less successful at enhancing patient self-efficacy, in turn resulting in lower rates of adherence with anti-hypertensive medication.. The intervention is a self-affirmation exercise performed prior to a patient-physician visit. A similar intervention has been shown to reduce the racial gap in academic performance in middle school classrooms.. We will explore the mechanistic effects of the intervention by analysis of audiotapes of patient-provider visits following the intervention. We will measure the effect of the intervention on minority hypertensive patients adherence ...
Heard this before?. The average test scores of minority students admitted to UW-Madison are lower than those of nonminority students admitted to UW-Madison. This is simply not fair, and is evidence of discrimination. In other words, if minorities and nonminorities were treated equally in the admissions process, there would be no test score differences.. This claim is common and demonstrably incorrect.. Test scores in the general population are lower for minority students than for nonminority students. This means that even if UW-Madison were to rely solely on test scores for purposes of determining admission, and had the exact same cutoff point for admission (regardless of race), the average scores of minority students would be lower than those of nonminority students. In case thats unclear, try this. Say instead of a test requirement we imposed a weight requirement: you must be at least 200 pounds to be admitted. The proportion of football players admitted to UW-Madison would undoubtedly ...
Ethnic minorities are set to make up a fifth of the UK population in 40 years, a University of Leeds study predicts.. It says the proportion of black, Asian and other ethnic minorities will rise from 8% of the population, as recorded in the 2001 census, to 20% by 2051.. Researchers say the population will reach nearly 78 million-up from 59 million in 2001.. One of the authors, Professor Philip Rees, said the UKs ethnic make-up was evolving significantly.. He said: Groups outside the white British majority are increasing in size and share, not just in the areas of initial migration, but throughout the country, and our projections suggest that this trend is set to continue through to 2051.. At a regional level, ethnic minorities will shift out of deprived inner city areas to more affluent areas, which echoes the way white groups have migrated in the past.. In particular, black and Asian populations in the least deprived local authorities will increase significantly.. The Leeds study ...
Results: Of the 106 diversity leaders invited, 89 (84.0%) responded and 78 (73.6%) provided a working definition of URM. Most programs (40/78; 51%) used the 2003 AAMC definition of URM, which includes racial/ethnic groups that are underrepresented in medicine relative to local and national demographics. Only 14.1% (11/78) used the pre-2003 AAMC definition, which included only African Americans, Mexican Americans, Native Americans, and mainland Puerto Ricans. Approximately one-third (23/78; 29.5%) also considered other diversity factors, such as socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and disability, in defining URM. Fifty-eight respondents (74.4%) confirmed that their diversity programs targeted specific groups. ...

One of the most successful strategies in recruiting and retaining ethnic minorities in health research has been the inclusion of members of the participating cultural group in the research team, and the formation of flexible and innovative community partnerships. Establishing an interdisciplinary team with experts in the area under investigation as well as bilingual researchers can be the first, and most important, step towards recruiting ethnic minority participants. Ethno-linguistic researchers can bring valuable cultural knowledge to the study and can be a useful asset to the team. This would then need to be followed up with collaborations with community-based organisations. So, for example, if the research was investigating the experiences of intimate partner violence in South Asian women, then it would be beneficial to work in collaboration with local domestic violence helplines and support groups as a source of expertise, and as an avenue to recruit potential participants. Working ...
Results: Compared to White British patients: Black African and Black Caribbean patients were more likely to present with psychotic symptoms and were less likely to have antidepressant treatment prescribed; White Irish patients had higher rates of substance/alcohol use and depressive symptoms were more prevalent in South Asian patients; all ethnic minority groups had a higher odds of polypharmacy; vascular dementia diagnoses were more common in Black and Irish ethnic minority groups ...

The university offers Masters Excellence Funding to full-time UK, EU as well as international master students, irrespective of their financial needs, who wish to undertake Masters level programs at the University of Bolton. ...
Successive governments and police have failed to stamp out the deep-rooted racial inequalities that still persist in policing some 22 years after the MacPherson report into the handling of the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence, MPs have warned.. The Home Affairs Committee called for urgent action amid a worrying decline of confidence in police among some ethnic minority communities, pointing to racial disparities in recruitment and stop and search. It comes just days after Boris Johnson described the tactic - found to be more disproportionate now than two decades ago - as kind and loving and called for its expansion.. ...

JEF meeting held on 18th March 2021. Summary. This quarter the JEF discussions included:. NHS Devon - Covid Vaccination Engagement. NHS Devon put together a presentation about how they approached engagement, and how people feel about the vaccine. Different approaches were made for the survey. People were asked about what motivates them to get the vaccine, and any fears they have about it. The survey identified hesitant, adopters and resistors. Hard to reach groups were targeted and asked about their concerns about the vaccine. The final aims are to promote the national vaccination uptake campaign, utilise trusted sources of information, support those with learning difficulties and to support uptake amongst ethnic minority communities.. March questions included:. Question 1. Are home vaccines going to be made available?. Question 2. How can someone register for a vaccine if they arent registered at a GP?. JEF members were given an opportunity to ask questions.. Learning Disability Partnership ...

Philadelphia Health Management Corporation (PHMC) is evaluating the Preventing AIDS Through Live Movement and Sound (PALMS) group-level intervention for high-risk, incarcerated or adjudicated youth. PALMS uses three theater-based sessions to increase knowledge about HIV/AIDS, increase HIV testing, and reduce risky sexual behavior through increased self-efficacy. The intervention is delivered by peers, and peers work with the intervention team to use evaluation results to improve the program. The evaluation will recruit male adolescents, aged 12 to 18 years, who are residing in juvenile justice or drug treatment facilities in Philadelphia. The evaluation design uses concurrent intervention (N=132) and comparison (N=132) groups. Data will be collected at baseline, immediate post-intervention, and at a 6-month post-intervention follow-up. The intent of this program is to support the evaluation of an existing intervention and provide feedback to the implementing organization for improved program ...
Children who experience discrimination are more susceptible to becoming depressed, new studies suggest.. The study, conducted by Lee M. Pachter, DO, co-author of the study and professor of pediatrics at Drexel University College of Medicine and St. Christophers Hospital for Children in Philadelphia, is based on the realization that racism is an added and extremely potent psychosocial stressor in minority children. His research took the lead in trying to find more concrete affects discrimination has on a childs self-esteem and overall mental health.. During this study, 277 minorities between the ages of 9 and 18 were provided a 23-item questionnaire to fill out. The questions dealt with how the subjects saw racism play out in their everyday lives.. The group consisted of the following minorities:. * 104 Latinos who were predominantly Puerto Ricans. * 85 African Americans. * 20 West Indian and Caribbean. * 53 multiracial. * 15 fell within a category listed as other. {snip}. {snip} Children sited ...

Summary report of a national inspection of mental health services carried out between June 2000 and September 2001, in the earlier stages of the implementation of the governments policies to modernise both social services and mental health services. The report is based on inspections of nineteen local authorities and describes how far councils have begun to respond to the new agenda. It focuses on how well the services users, particularly those from black and minority ethnic communities, are served and how far councils have planned effectively to ensure that mental health services were safe, sound and supportive. ...
Type 2 diabetes is a major UK public health priority. Among minority ethnic communities, the prevalence is alarmingly high, approximately three to five times higher than in the white British population. Particularly striking is the earlier onset of Type 2 diabetes, which occurs some 10-12 years younger, with a significant proportion of cases being diagnosed before the age of 40 years. This review focuses on the UK context and Type 2 diabetes in adult populations, exploring the available evidence regarding the complex interplay of biological, lifestyle, social, clinical and healthcare system factors that are known to drive these disparities. ...

The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) is an American government health institute. It is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The stated mission of the NIMHD is to lead scientific research to improve minority health and eliminate health disparities.[1] The mission of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities is aimed at a wide variety of people whether the disparity is caused by gender, age, economic status, ethnicity, or residential location. In any case, if a person is assumed to be part of a minority group, then there is a risk for health disparities to form.[2] Minority Health relates to people that are socially categorized into minority groups because they do not hold positions of power in our society.[3] Health disparities refer to rates of illness and disease that are disproportionate within a society.[4] Health disparities have been a subject of interest great enough to inspire the creating and implementation of ...

The Wayne County Health Department has received a state grant to help provide more services for the countys minority population. And health officials said they will turn to local churches for help in using the money. The three-year grant, made possible by the Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities, will provide $126,603 this year. Health Director Davin Madden said part of the money will be used to hire a wellness coordinator. The Health Department previously had a similar position, termed a minority health coordinator. Rovonda Freeman served in the capacity from 2008-10. While in the role, she targeted minority churches as a way to reach the people in need. Madden said that will continue. Churches (are) one of the most successful vectors because they already have the infrastructure, he said. The first year of the latest grant will be spent working with eight churches, followed with a different group of eight the second year and still another group of eight the final year, Madden ...
The National Health Service [NHS] remains one of the most significant employers of minority ethnic groups. However, evidence suggests that members of such groups are significantly disadvantaged in NHS employment. In this article we present research evidence about the recruitment of minority ethnic groups into nursing and midwifery. In case studies of nurse education centres we identified few positive action provisions which were part of a systematic strategy for improving recruitment from minority ethnic communities. The arguments for positive action were neither widely understood nor embraced, and the problem was compounded by the fragmented organizational structure of the NHS. We conclude that what is required is an effective national strategy to build on the NHSs underlying principle of equitable and effective health care for all. This entails linking the moral imperatives of service delivery to a diverse patient community to a business case for equality of opportunity and positive ...
Downloadable! This study examines the asset and income pattern of poor ethnic minorities in Northern Mountains of Vietnam using data from a 2010 Northern Mountain Baseline Survey (NMBS) of the Second Northern Mountains Poverty Reduction Project and Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey (VHLSS) 2010. The poor ethnic minorities in Northern Mountains have lower assets and income than ethnic minorities in other regions. Their income is mainly from crops and livestock. Compared with Kinh/Hoa and ethnic minorities in other regions, poor ethnic minorities in Northern Mountain have substantially lower income from wages and non-farm activities. The difference in the income gap between Northern Mountain ethnic minorities and other households is mainly explained by the gap in wages and non-farm income. Northern Mountain ethnic minorities spend less time on wages and non-farm employment. Compared with other households, their non-farm income per working hours and also farm income per working hours is
A national effort led by the Association of American Medical Colleges sought to enroll 3,000 underrepresented minorities annually into U.S. medical schools by the year 2000.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has initiated many programs over the past twenty years to assist minority-serving institutions to develop the scientific resources necessary to participate in the NIH research mission. Although there have been successes, investigators at minority institutions have not generally been competitive for mainstream NIH research programs. NIEHS believes there is a critical need for a focused program to increase participation of minority schools and investigators in the health research mission of the Institute. To address the need for increased minority participation, the NIEHS has developed the Advanced Research Cooperation in Environmental Health (ARCH) program, which focuses on establishing research partnerships between investigators at Research Intensive Universities (RIUs) with significant environmental health sciences research and investigators at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) with a strong interest in such research.. The ARCH grant is a mechanism for ...
The United States, along with many other countries, experiences cultural diversity. This fact poses health issues that are specific to ethnic and other minority groups. Additionally, the propensity for certain diseases or illnesses is of concern in certain minority groups. These specific health issues include infant mortality rates, cancer , cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV infection , and immunizations. The primary minority groups in the United States are Hispanics, African Americans, Native Americans and Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, and gays and lesbians. One of the major health problems in the United States is overweight and obesity , which lead to increased risks for a wide variety of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension , and cancer. A 2003 study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality shows that African-American and Hispanic children face much higher odds of being overweight than non-Hispanic white or ...
Sandra Millon Underwood, RN, PhD, FAAN, is trying to address this issue by holding workshops that train nurse educators to teach their students about the importance of eliminating minority health disparities. These workshops focus on disparities in cancer prevention and early detection and are funded by the National Cancer Institute.. Underwood, the American Cancer Society Harley Davidson Oncology Nursing Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Nursing, has some doubts about how seriously the issue of health disparities is being taken. Its certainly a buzzword of the 21st century, but I dont see us as educators addressing it, she argues. I would like to believe the situation is improving, but I dont think it is.. Engaging nursing students in this issue is the most powerful way we can effect a change in the future, Underwood continues. Were teaching the next generation so they can engage in practices that may reduce health disparities. If we would truly commit to ...

Around 2.5 million coins, with the message Diversity Built Britain and featuring geodome, will enter the general circulation next week..

Sunak commissioned the coin earlier this year following discussion with the We Too Built Britain campaign, which works for fair representation of minority communities contributions across all walks of life..

Analysis of the Commonwealth Fund Biennial Health Insurance Survey (2005) finds that uninsured rates for Hispanic and African American adults are one-and-a-half to three times greater than the rate for white adults. Nearly two-thirds (62%) of working-age Hispanics and one-third (33%) of African Americans were uninsured at some point during 2005, compared with 20 percent of working-age whites. Hispanics are particularly disconnected from the health care system, being substantially less likely than whites to have a regular doctor, to have visited a doctor in the past year, or to feel confident about their ability to manage their health problems. African Americans are significantly more likely than whites to visit the emergency room for non-urgent care and to experience serious problems with medical bills and medical debt. Along with expanded insurance coverage, policies promoting continuity in patients relationships with health care providers also are needed to reduce disparities in ...
