Abstract / Description

In this breakout session during the Partners for Advancing Health Equity 2022 Summit, Dr. Gail Christopher, Executive Director at the National Collaborative for Health Equity, emphasized the importance of allowing our vision for health and racial equity to guide the data we collect and the research we conduct to achieve sustainable change and justice. By outlining the Trust, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) framework, she explained how innovative research approaches that utilize creative tools and technology, and involve diverse partners from various sectors, can help disseminate research on inequities and potential solutions. This, in turn, will mobilize action towards eliminating racism and advancing equity. Following Dr. Christopher's presentation, Dr. Thomas LaVeist, Dean of the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, discussed the importance of changing the mindsets of the public and decision makers that drive structures of inequity to address structural, interpersonal, and internalized racism and moderated a Q&A with audience members.
