How Researchers Can Combat Racism, Health Inequities

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated pre-existing health inequities and emphasized the need for community-engaged research to address those disparities, according to a panel of Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill experts.

Duke University held a panel discussion, moderated by Ebony Boulware, MD, as a part of Duke Research Week 2022. The panel also covered the role of big data and the need to look beyond individual behavior to the systemic forces that influence people's health.

Giselle Corbie, MD, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Medicine and director of the UNC Center for Health Equity Research, was part of a panel of experts.
