1 Massachusetts Department of Public Health The Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Disparities A Public Health Priority September, 2009
2 The Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Disparities is a Core Public Health Goal Data clearly indicate that it needs to a priority to address a wide range of health issues There is unevenness within public health with regard to whether this is a top priority Positive examples exist that demonstrate what public health can do to have an impact on disparities even in difficult economic ties 2
3 Why Should this be a Priority?

24 What Can be Done in Public Health to Address the Issue?
25 Leadership at the Highest Levels Helps The Elimination of Disparities is an Explicit Priority of the Patrick Administration 25
26 Hire Diverse Leadership After years of little diversity in leadership 26
27 Focus Attention at the Highest Levels Creation of DPH Health Equity Office Management of disparities and other grants Involvement in senior policy inside and outside of DPH Use of the position as a bully pulpit 27
28 Provide Information on Disparities Regulatory mandate that hospitals collect and report accurate, consistent patient race and ethnicity data 28
29 Guarantee Interpreter Services Chapter 66 of the Acts of 2000 Emergency Room Interpreters Law (ERIL) every acute care hospital shall provide competent interpreter services in connection with all emergency room services provided to every non-english speaker who is a patient or who seeks appropriate emergency care or treatment. DPH Releases the 1 st Annual Hospital Interpreter Services Report 1.2 million interpreter sessions completed in Massachusetts in over 100 different languages in a one year period. 29
30 Issue Special Reports 30
31 Promote Higher Quality Services Making CLAS Happen CLAS (Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services) Standards (US DHHS, 2001) contribute to the elimination of racial and ethnic health disparities make services more responsible to the individual needs of clients are inclusive of all cultures, while specifically designed to address the needs of racial, ethnic, and linguistic minority groups. 31

33 Work with Local Communities Supporting local screenings of Unnatural Causes* to build awareness about health disparities. Working with communities to develop goals to eliminate disparities in health. *Unnatural Causes Produced by California Newsreel 33

37 Wellness Promotion/Obesity Prevention Initiative Mass In Motion 37
38 Consider Needed Policy Changes Example: Passage of Menu Labelling Regulation New regulations require fast food chain restaurants to post the calorie content of their food Such restaurants are more likely to be located in neighborhoods of color 38
39 Example of disproportionate impact low income residents of color 39
40 Low income neighborhoods are less likely to have Supermarkets with large produce sections Farmers markets Accessible recreational facilities Safe, walkable neighborhoods 40
