04/23/2008		Building Capacity for Successful Community-based Research J. South-Paul View description Clinical investigation has traditionally focused on conditions that are best studied in controlled environments. Furthermore, women have only been equitably represented among participants enrolled during the last 10-15 years. Thus, many of the findings of such studies have been difficult to translate into less controlled environments such as the community or into underrepresented minority and disadvantaged groups. Strategies to incorporate diverse populations groups into research in the academic health center and the community setting are discussed. One such strategy is the use of community advisory boards that provide community stakeholders a voice in the projects implemented in their communities. Incorporating community advisory boards as well as attending to the principles of community-oriented research facilitate and encourage research that contributes positively to the health of communities and the elimination of health disparities.

04/01/2008		Health in the Amish Community J. Eastman View description James Eastman, MD has lived and practiced pathology in Lancaster County, PA for nearly 30 years during which time he also served as Chief of Microbiology and Immunology and then as Director of Laboratories for Lancaster General Hospital. Lancaster has the oldest and one of the largest communities of Older Order Amish in this country. As an outgrowth of their religious beliefs and heritage, the Amish chose to remain separate from the mainstream, and thus constitute an ethnically, culturally and genetically distinct population. The interactions between the Amish community and the surrounding modern world (the "English" as the Amish refer) are complex and often puzzling to those of us not of the Amish community. Eastman has spent part of his career working to understand the beliefs and practices of this community, particularly those that might impact on Amish attitudes about health care. In particular he has worked with Holmes Mort on and Kevin Strauss at the Clinic for Special Children (Strasburg PA) in the study of the metabolic and genetic diseases that are common in the Amish and Mennonite communities. This unique practice setting, built and financially supported by the Amish, blends effective therapy, compassionate care, and cutting-edge metabolic and genetic research in the ultimate translational model. Eastman currently works on continuing to bridge the divide between rural communities in both the medical and legal setting, and further investigating the diseases and health needs specific to the Amish ad Mennonite populations.

Rich View description In the discipline of bioethics, how bodies and "body boundaries" are culturally constructed is critically important to understand.

Wyatt View description It has long been assumed that mental and physical health are most likely shaped by biological influences. However, the history and diversity of the US requires that research and clinical practice can be better offered - and training of health professionals improved - if we understand how ethnicity and health can compliment and contradict one another. In this presentation, Dr. Wyatt will discuss thirty years of sex research funded by the NIH, the State of California and private foundations to illustrate what we know about health and mental health, the disparities that exist and what is needed for the future. These data will be presented using a historical, socio cultural, gender and sexual orientation-based framework that has influenced Dr. Wyatt's scientific, community-level research and clinical practice.
