2010 CHPR Conference

Health Literacy: Communicating with Underserved Populations

Dear Colleague

We are pleased to invite you to Health Literacy: Communicating with Underserved Populations, a research conference sponsored by the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Research in Underserved Populations (CHPR) at The University of  Texas at Austin School of Nursing. The CHPR was established in 1999 through funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Nursing Research (P30NR005051).  Increasing health literacy and communicating effectively in and with underserved populations through interdisciplinary and collaborative research in health promotion and disease prevention is a central aim of CHPR. We are pleased to partner with the UT Austin Population Research Center, Center for Social Work Research, and the School of Social Work, and with the Seton Family of Hospitals, and Sigma Theta Tau’s Epsilon Theta chapter to disseminate important new information on eliminating health disparities.

The conference will feature a keynote presentation by noted researcher Michael Wolf, PhD, MPH (Northwestern University), a closing address by Eduardo Sanchez, MD, MPH (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas) and the work of 10 other distinguished researchers. Please take a moment to review this brochure and register to join this important dialogue on promoting the health of underserved populations on March 3, 2010.
