In the second episode of IPH Bombs, Dr. John Lyons discusses "The Main Effect," a scientific term used to describe a straight-forward comparison among two or more groups to test any differences between or among these groups.

"The Main Effect" operates under an assumption: all members of all groups are replications of each other. Dr. Lyons explains how this thought process leads to the furtherance of mass production solutions in the helping system.

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training applies to ALL full-time faculty, staff, graduate students, undergraduates, and postdoctoral fellows participating in research.

The deadline to complete RCR In-Person Training was May 31, 2023.

July training dates have been added; visit the RCR Events page for details.

Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky will host a webinar titled, Health for a Change: Unmasking the Impact of Toxic Stress and Discrimination on Health Outcomes

Description: The phrase, “It runs in the family,” is not uncommon to hear when discussing health issues. While true in some cases, for others there are different factors at play. Getting to the root cause of health problems and how to best treat them requires looking at more than family history and lifestyle behaviors. 

Dealing with things such as discrimination, trauma, poor living conditions, and food insecurity can lead to toxic stress. And the body’s reaction to continued toxic stress can lead to a great number of health issues. Furthermore, some patients get different care based on their race or ethnicity due to unconscious biases. Register for this free, 90-minute webinar to learn more!

Speakers:

1. Timothy Ainger, PhD, Clinical Neuropsychologist; Assistant Professor, Dept. of Neurology at University of Kentucky College of Medicine
2. Karen Krigger MD, MEd, FAAFP, AAHIV(S), Director of Health Equity Health Sciences Center, University of Louisville, Endowed Chair Urban Policy, Foundation for Healthy Kentucky, University of Louisville, Office of Diversity and Inclusion Health Sciences Center, University of Louisville
3. Shilpa Londhe, PhD, Co-Founder & Executive Director of Maternal Spotlight

Moderator: J.D. Miller, MD, FACP, Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky Community Advisory Council member

Description: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is committed to building a Culture of Health rooted in equity that provides every individual with a fair and just opportunity to thrive, no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they have. Unfortunately, some of us don’t have the same opportunities to realize our aspirations for ourselves and our families. A number of policies and legal structures place more value on some lives than others, based on race, class, gender, ZIP Code, and other factors. These structures can limit opportunities within public health, housing, education, work, safety, justice, and wealth-building.

Along with RWJF’s other signature research programs, Policies for Action (P4A) funds research that can move policy toward the goals of dismantling structural racism and injustice and promote health equity and wellbeing. Efforts to do this include funding diverse researchers and research organizations and disseminating policy research that is equity focused and actionable.

For this P4A call for proposals, the goal is to build the evidence base investigating how preemption policies at the state level may affect racial justice and health equity. Research should focus on how state-level preemption impacts local authority; apply a racial equity lens to the policy research processes and outcomes; and include community groups and/or members, especially those from historically marginalized communities, as leaders or partners in all stages of the research. Research findings are intended to inform and guide legislators; public agencies; public policy advocates; racial and other justice organizations; community organizers; and others who are developing and implementing policies to create thriving, healthy, equitable communities.
