Forward LA, Health Disparities; highlights, 2017-04-27/2017-04-28

Forward LA: Race, Arts, and Inclusive Placemaking after the 1992 Civil Unrest conference, Health Disparities; includes highlights. Health disparities across income strata and race and ethnicity have been well recognized in the literature. Residents of high poverty neighborhoods often face multiple disadvantages that impact their health. Unfortunately, health data are often not available in a disaggregated fashion to allow community actors to target and develop interventions in neighborhoods. The advent of the 500 Cities project (https://www.cdc.gov/500cities/) provides an opportunity to obtain data on a variety of health outcomes at the Census tract level. This panel will answer questions concerning what neighborhood data will allow community stakeholders to do as well as discuss the challenges that exist in reducing health disparities in low income communities, 2017 April 27-28.

「奋进洛杉矶」：1992年内乱后的种族、艺术与包容性场所营造研讨会（健康差距（Health Disparities）专题）；含会议要点集锦。不同收入阶层与种族、族裔群体间的健康差距已在学术文献中得到充分证实。高贫困社区居民往往面临多重不利条件，对其健康状况造成负面影响。遗憾的是，现有健康数据常未按细分维度拆解发布，致使社区行动者无法精准定位社区并制定针对性干预方案。美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）推出的「500座城市」项目（500 Cities Project，链接：https://www.cdc.gov/500cities/），为获取人口普查街区（Census tract）层面的各类健康结局数据提供了契机。本次专题讨论环节于2017年4月27日至28日举办，将解答社区利益相关方可借助街区数据开展的相关工作，并围绕低收入社区降低健康差距面临的各类挑战展开研讨。
