Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in the number of large federally funded transdisciplinary programs and initiatives. Scholars have identified a need to develop frameworks, methodologies, and tools to evaluate the effectiveness of these large collaborative initiatives, providing precise ways to understand and assess the operations, community and academic partner collaboration, scientific and community research dissemination, and cost-effectiveness. Unfortunately, there has been limited research on methodologies and frameworks that can be used to evaluate large initiatives. This study presents a framework for evaluating the Flint Center for Health Equity Solutions (FCHES), a National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD)-funded Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center (TCC) for health disparities research. This report presents a summary of the FCHES evaluation framework and evaluation questions as well as findings from the Year-2 evaluation of the Center and lessons learned.

Abstract The Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) require medical schools to teach their students how to recognize and work towards eliminating health disparities. However, time constraints and a dearth of guidance for educators in teaching pain disparities curricula, pose significant challenges. Herein, we describe successes and lessons learned after designing, implementing, and evaluating an innovative pain disparities curriculum that was embedded in a longitudinal health equity curriculum for third year medical school students at an academic institution. Although the curriculum was developed for medical school students, the concepts may be broadly applicable to other training settings such as residency and fellowship programs.

Telehealth has become an increasingly popular method of delivery of health-related services. Under the umbrella of telehealth lies telemental health (TMH). Although this type of modality has been around for quite some time, it was not until the arrival of Covid-19 during 2020-2021 that the United States healthcare system began to fully accept, embrace, and implement TMH. Due to public health restrictions related to Covid-19, in person therapy and other social services were prohibited (or restricted) thus relying on TMH. This article discusses the link between a racial justice lens, minority stress theory, health equity and identifies barriers/challenges in telemental health that do not reflect equity in health for racial minorities including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Latinx communities, and all communities of color.

Diabetic Eye Screening

We report key findings and lessons learned from a health equity audit (HEA) of six National Health Service Diabetic Eye Screening Programmes (NDESPs) in Cumbria and the North East of England. Uptake of diabetic eye screening was analysed in relation to demographic variables including age, sex, socioeconomic deprivation and geography and a combinationof these in each of the six NDESPs. A total of 196,275 records of patients with diabetes aged 12 years and over on the NDESP registers were analysed. The key finding was a lower than acceptable screening uptake (70%) in the last year among the working age population, especially those living in the most socioeconomically deprived areas. The HEA process also highlighted the need for improvements in collecting data on ethnicity and sex. It informed action plans which address inequities in uptake of screening in each of the six NDESPs, especially those targeting the working age populations and individuals who never attended screening or never responded to screening invitations. We established a method of extracting the patient data from the local systems, pseudonymising and linking to lower super outputarea. This will be important for HEAs to become embedded in routine practice.
