This session will include research evidence of racism in the occurrence of health disparities that plague many communities of color, particularly those in low-income areas. Additionally, in this session a community-based research and intervention approach to reduce racism-related and other health disparities will be set forth and described. Finally, examples of how this approach has been effectively used in low-income Black communities to reduce a health disparity disease and/or increase health promoting behaviors will be presented.
