The UConn Health Disparities Institute
invites you to join us for a webinar to review the
2018 CT Report Card on Health Equity among Boys and Men of Color
Boys and men of color (BMoC) have considerable untapped potential for contributing to Connecticut’s economic growth, vitality, competitiveness, and social innovations. Unleashing the full potential of Connecticut’s BMoC requires a focus on advancing health equity.
BMoC experience poor health outcomes and shorter lifespans due in large measure to social and economic drivers of health (such as our physical environments, like lack of access to healthy foods, unaffordable insurance and daily environmental stressors). Extensive research has shown that many conditions leading to premature mortality are preventable and amenable to treatment upon early detection.
The purpose of the report card is three-fold:
- To raise awareness and signal a call to action for the collection of disaggregated data, especially among medically and systemically underserved population groups
- To stimulate policy action, transparency, research, interventions, and public awareness
- To promote multisector collaboration on statewide initiatives designed to advance health equity for boys and men of color in CT
