This spring the Institute for Public Health partnered with the Center for Diabetes Translation Research (CDTR) on “Next Steps in Public Health: Eliminating Population-Based Disparities in Diabetes and Obesity.” Led by CDTR director and Institute scholar Debra Haire-Joshu, PhD, MSEd, Joyce Wood Professor at the Brown School and School of Medicine, fifty researchers from a variety of disciplines from across Washington University, as well as CDTR members from external institutions, came together for a day of brainstorming and discussion to develop papers that inform real world approaches to prevent racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities associated with Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
