Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and Reducing
Health Disparities
* Purpose. To encourage behavioral and social science research on
the causes and solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the
U. S. population. Health disparities between, on the one hand,
racial/ethnic populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural
residents and, on the other hand, the overall U.S. population are major
public health concerns. Emphasis is placed on research in and among
three broad areas of action: 1) Public policy, 2) health care, and 3)
disease/disability prevention. Particular attention is given to reducing
"health gaps" among groups. Proposals that utilize an interdisciplinary
approach, investigate multiple levels of analysis, incorporate a
life-course perspective, and/or employ innovative methods such as system
science or community-based participatory research are particularly
encouraged.
