Diabetes Health Disparities: Prevention, Treatment, Policy

Video of a November 12-13 conference hosted by the Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance. The purpose of the conference was to assemble experts with different perspectives in an effort to better understand disparities in diabetes, and to guide future research, policy and public health practices in terms of prevention and management of diabetes, with a focus on special populations.

The audience included professionals from the areas of diabetes prevention, healthcare delivery, translational research, community practice and public policy. This included caregivers (physicians, nurses, public and community health staff), epidemiologists, social scientists, behaviorists, psychologists, diabetes educators, health administrators and policy makers at the city, state and national level. Students are also encouraged to attend in order to more fully understand current progress and remaining barriers towards adequate prevention and management of diabetes disparities.
