Study Notes
Starting Early: A Life-Course Perspective on Child Health Disparities-Research Recommendations
- A multidisciplinary group of 70 researchers, practitioners, and funders gathered in Washington D.C. to develop a research agenda for eliminating child health disparities.
- The meeting focused on disparities defined as differences in health, healthcare and developmental outcomes, particularly among racial and ethnic minority groups.
- The conference was sponsored by various organizations: the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, American Academy of Pediatrics, Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research, The Commonwealth Fund, Academic Pediatric Association, Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
- The conference planning committee selected 9 topic areas for discussion in 2 conference panels: conceptualization of child health disparities and solving child health disparities.
- Nine articles were commissioned and presented at the conference.
- The report emphasizes the importance of child health in relation to the future health and well-being of America.
- The report notes that there is significant work to be done to better understand and ameliorate child health disparities.
Demographic Trends in the United States
- The US population has a significant proportion of children.
- The United States has a growing racial and ethnic diversity among children.
- By 2050, ~62% of America's children are estimated to be ethnic minorities.
- Minority children are disproportionately represented in low-income households.
- In 2006, 10% of non-Hispanic white children, compared to 27% of black and 33% of Hispanic children lived in poverty.
- Minority status and lower socioeconomic standing contributes to social disadvantage affecting health disparities.
Previous Disparities Reports
- Reports from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research have addressed racial and ethnic health disparities.
- Important limitations exist in our understanding: discussion of child health disparities is often less prominent compared to those of adults.
- Categorical (e.g., asthma, immunization rates) approaches overlook the life-course impact of disparities and the broader context of factors influencing child health.
- The report critiques the lack of integration between issues of disparities in adults and children.
Defining and Conceptualizing Health Disparities
- Health disparities are not simply differences but avoidable and potentially systematic inequities.
- Research should consider life chances, opportunities, risks, and quality of life, beyond health status and healthcare access.
- Disparities should be examined based on race/ethnicity, socioeconomics, generation, and geography, and their complex interactions.
Future Research on Child Health Disparities: Scope, Content, and Methods
- Future research should explore mechanistic insights and interventions for all populations.
- Research should investigate factors that create and sustain disparities: biological, environmental and psychosocial exposures.
- Investigation should also examine how disparities affect health and well-being (magnitude, naturally occurring response differences, and intergenerational effects).
- Methods for mitigating or preventing disparities must be tested and implemented.
- The role of clinician cultural competency and linguistic skills on healthcare access should also be investigated.
Conference Recommendations
- Recommendations for broader, interdisciplinary training in child health disparities.
- Recommendations for funding support in child health disparities research across the lifespan.
- Recommendations to increase workforce diversity
- Recommendations for incorporating child health disparities research into existing infrastructures.
