Target Audience Clinicians and scientists interested in health equity research and basic or translational scientists interested in incorporating social determinants of health into preclinic research. Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • construct a research question grounded in equity theories and frameworks • propose a research agenda using tailored methods that center marginalized groups • create a dissemination plan that maximizes reach and policy impact Marginalized patients with pulmonary, critical care, and sleep-related illnesses often experience poor health outcomes due to structural barriers to high-quality medical care. However, few scientists have formal training in health equity research methods, limiting the conduct of high-quality studies to promote equitable care. The target audience for this postgraduate course is all scientists who are new to health equity research. The overall goal is to share current best practices of health equity research. This session will leverage case studies and facilitated small group exercises to introduce principles of health equity research and allow participants to apply these principles in real time to practice developing or deepen their own research agenda. 8:00 Introduction to Seminar and Learning Objectives 8:15 Lecture and Case Study: Health Equity Research Theory and Framework 8:45 Lecture and Case Study: Hormonal Regulation of Immunity as a Contributor to Health Disparities 9:15 Breakout Session #1: Generating a Health Equity Research Question 9:45 Break 10:15 Lecture: Social Determinants of Health 10:45 Lecture: Centering the Margins 11:15 Lecture: Selecting and Applying Quantitative Methods in Equity Research 11:45 Lecture: Unique Aspects of Qualitative Methods in Equity Research
