Finding a Place for Genomics in Health Disparities Research
The existence of pronounced differences in health outcomes between US populations is a problem of moral significance and public health urgency. Pursuing research on genetic contributors to such disparities, despite striking data on the fundamental role of social factors, has been controversial. Still, advances in genomic science are providing an understanding of disease biology at a level of pr...

متن کاملThe meanings of "race" in the new genomics: implications for health disparities research.
Eliminating the well-documented health disparities found within the United States population is a laudable public policy goal. Social justice demands that we understand the sources of health inequality in order to eliminate them. A central dilemma is: To what extent are health disparities the result of unequal distribution of resources, and thus a consequence of varied socioeconomic status (or ...
متن کاملIntegrating research on racial and ethnic disparities in health care over place and time.
Black Americans have substantially higher rates of cardiovascular mortality than other racial and ethnic groups in the United States, and they have experienced much less improvement in this important outcome than white Americans over the past 15 years. Racial disparities in cardiovascular treatment contributing to this mortality gap have been extensively documented. Numerous deficiencies, howev...
متن کاملScalable Combinatorial Tools for Health Disparities Research
Despite staggering investments made in unraveling the human genome, current estimates suggest that as much as 90% of the variance in cancer and chronic diseases can be attributed to factors outside an individual's genetic endowment, particularly to environmental exposures experienced across his or her life course. New analytical approaches are clearly required as investigators turn to complicat...
