Finding Answers Intervention Resarch (FAIR) Database
The contains 206 journal article summaries from a systematic review of racial and ethnic health disparities interventions. Diseases examined in this database were chosen because they have a known high prevalence, cause significant morbidity and mortality, have clear standards of care, and have large documented disparities in care. Diseases outside the scope of the supplement (e.g., HIV/AIDS, asthma) are not included in this database. The FAIR Database is searchable by health topic, racial/ethnic population, organizational setting, and intervention strategy and will provide a customized list of interventions based on the categories selected.
Review of Interventions to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care
Published as a special supplement to Medical Care Research and Review in October 2007
This study reviewed more than 200 articles that outline interventions that have the potential to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in the areas of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression and breast cancer. Additionally, the research surrounding two specific approaches—cultural leverage and pay-for-performance incentives—was examined and provides insight for future intervention development.
