Description:	NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series The National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) sponsors the monthly NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series. The forum disseminates information on advances, gaps, and current issues related to health disparities research. It features national and international health disparities research experts including many who are funded by the NCMHD, the other NIH Institutes and Centers, and federal agency partners. The theme for the July seminar series is the social determinants of health. Hispanics and Latinos represent the largest minority population in the United States, comprising 15 percent of the total population. While Hispanics reported 10 percent fewer cases of heart disease than non-Hispanic whites in 2007, Hispanics have a greater risk of obesity, diabetes, and asthma. To improve understanding of Hispanic and Latino health and advance research about specific Hispanic subgroups, NHLBI (with co-funding from NCMHD, NIDDK, NINDS, NIDCD, NIDCR, and the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements) started the “Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos" in 2006. The six and a half year study will provide important public health surveillance information on the prevalence, incidence, risk factors, and consequences of chronic diseases among Hispanic/Latino adults. This presentation will give an overview of the study, and highlight progress and the impact it is making in several Hispanic communities. www.ncmhd.nih.gov
