While these inequities play out in numerous areas\, health and well-being is one sector in which minority groups are dramatically and disproportionally affected. \nThis Forum event will examine how disparities within the law and the criminal justice system negatively affect health\, as well as how the role of race interacts with neighborhood environments\, educational and employment opportunities\, public policy\, and other factors to lead to poorer health.      \nE-mail questions for the expert participants before the live webcast to theforum@hsph.harvard.edu. Or Tweet them to@ForumHSPH using #HealthAndRace. We’ll also conduct a live chat on The Forum’s Race\, Criminal Justice and Health web page. The Forum will accommodate as many questions as we can during a limited Q&A.

Vast amounts of data are generated over the course of a clinical trial; however\, a large portion is never published in peer-reviewed journals. Data sharing can advance new discoveries and improve clinical care\, but at the same time\, sharing clinical trial data presents risks\, burdens\, and challenges\, including protecting the privacy and consent of clinical trial participants. A new report from the Institute of Medicine provides recommended guidelines about what data should be shared at key times in a clinical trial. \nAdvance copies will be available to reporters only beginning at noon EST Tuesday\, Jan. 13. The report is embargoed and not for public release before 1 p.m. EST Wednesday\, Jan. 14. To obtain a copy\, reporters should contact the National Academies’ Office of News and Public Information; tel. 202-334-2138 or e-mail news@nas.edu. \nMembers of the authoring committee will present the report’s findings and recommendations at a public briefing beginning at 1 p.m. EST Wednesday\, Jan. 14\, at the National Academy of Sciences building\, 2101 Constitution Ave.\, N.W.\, Washington\, D.C.   \nThose who cannot attend in person may view a live webcast of the event. \n  URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/new-institute-of-medicine-report-guidelines-for-responsible-sharing-of-clinical-trial-data/ CATEGORIES:None END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20141218T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20141218T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T162525Z CREATED:20231103T160250Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T162525Z UID:26034-1418864400-1418864400@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Press Conference: New Report Card on Infectious Disease Outbreaks DESCRIPTION:New Report Card on Infectious Disease Outbreaks\, Including Ebola\, Enterovirus\, Superbugs\, to be Released\, Includes National & State-by-State Info \nAudio press conference on Dec. 18\, 10-11 a.m. ET \nPress briefing conference call to release “Outbreaks: Protecting Americans from Infectious Diseases\,” which includes a report card for how well states scored on 10 indicators of strategies to prevent and control infectious disease outbreaks in addition to national and global concerns. \nSome topics featured in the report include emerging new diseases like Ebola\, Chikungunya and Chagas; antibiotic-resistant Superbugs; healthcare-associated infections such as MRSA; the resurgence of old threats like whooping cough and tuberculosis; HIV/AIDS and hepatitis; and the ability to respond to bioterrorism attacks. \nThe Outbreaks report-which found troubling errors\, lapses and scrambles- will be released by the Trust for America’s Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \nWHEN: 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (ET)\, Thursday\, December 18\, 2014 \nWHO: Jeffrey Levi\, PhD\, Executive Director\, Trust for America’s Health \nEric Toner\, MD\, Senior Associate\, UPMC Center for Health Security \nHOW: Please contact Albert Lang at (202) 864-5941 or alang@tfah.org at TFAH to reserve a line for the audio conference and to access embargoed materials.

They will also examine the impact for oral health as we mature and an industry perspective as it relates to research tools and resources. \nThe human body is host to trillions of microbes\, forming the microbiome that is found on the skin\, in the oral cavity and gut. The microbiota are partially responsible for maintaining a healthy ecological community\, but can also contribute to disease when an imbalance of microbes occurs. \nAs a result of technological advancement in DNA sequencing and reduction in sequencing costs\, the emerging field of metagenomics has fueled research in how microbes across the human body play a role in human health and disease including cancer\, fat malabsorption\, heart disease\, obesity\, diabetes\, and other health concerns. \nThe body’s flora represents a key area of research interest\, as it relates to immunology\, nutrition and digestion\, and other crucial aspects of human health. The recently formed NIH Common Fund Human Microbiome Project has been instrumental in providing research resources that enable the comprehensive characterization of the human microbiota. The webinar will also explore the future of this research. \nPresenters: \n\nCamila R. Martin\, M.D.\, M.S.\, Harvard Medical School\, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\nFloyd E.
