DESCRIPTION:Chanelle J. Howe\, PhD\n\nAssociate Professor | Department of E
 pidemiology | Brown University School of Public Health\n\nWhere: Virtual |
  Zoom\n\nAbstract\n\nCausal diagrams have been extensively used by epidemi
 ologists to study population health. However\, historically there has been
  a lack of clarity regarding how best to use causal diagrams to study and 
 eliminate racial health disparities that have persisted in the United Stat
 es (U.S.). This talk will: (1) provide recommendations for using causal di
 agrams to study and eliminate U.S.-based racial health disparities\; (2) d
 iscuss the benefits of these recommendations\; and (3) demonstrate impleme
 ntation of these recommendations.\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n	Understand t
 he difference between a health difference and a health disparity\n	Understa
 nd that race is a social construct\, rather than a biological variable\, a
 nd how race can be incorporated into a causal diagram\n	Understand how to d
 epict mechanisms of racism as multilevel determinants of health in a causa
 l diagram\n\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nDr. Chanelle Howe is an Associate Professor 
 in the Department of Epidemiology within the Brown University School of Pu
