Specifically, this initiative focuses on ethnic and racial minority children and underserved populations of children such as: children from low literacy, rural and low-income populations, geographically isolated children, hearing and visually impaired children, physically or mentally disabled children, children of migrant workers, children from immigrant and refugee families, and language minority children. Specific targeted areas of research include biobehavioral studies that incorporate multiple factors that influence child health disparities such as biological (e.g., genetics, cellular, organ systems), lifestyle factors, environmental (physical and family environments), social (e.g., peer influences), economic, institutional, and cultural and family influences; studies that target the specific health promotion needs of children with a known illness and/or disability; and studies that test and evaluate the cost effectiveness of health promotion interventions conducted in nontraditional settings

2007 Community Partnerships to Eliminate Health Disparities

The purpose of the Community Partnerships to End Health Disparities Demonstration Grant Program is to improve the health status of targeted minority populations (see definition of minority populations in Section VIII.3 of this announcement) by eliminating disparities. Through this FY 2007 announcement, the OMH is continuing to promote the utilization of community partnerships with locally grounded, grassroots organizations to develop and/ or implement promising practices and model programs targeting minority communities that focus on: Health education promotion, disease risk reduction and increased access to and utilization of preventive health care and treatment services. Support will be provided to projects that emphasize prevention, one of the HHS priorities. The risks of many diseases and health conditions are reduced through preventative actions.
