General Information on Minority Health Resources (III)
The Minority Health Project at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill School of Public Health , is sponsored by The National Center for Health Statistics, a component of Centers for Disease Control, in collaboration with the Association of Schools of Public Health. The overall purpose of the Minority Health Project (MHP) is to improve the quality of available data on racial and ethnic populations, to expand the capacity of minority-health researchers to conduct statistical research and develop research proposals, and to foster a network of researchers in minority health.
Toward these goals, the Minority Health Project, in collaboration with the Center for Health Statistics Research, other units in the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, the National Center for Health Statistics and the Association of Schools of Public Health, conducts educational programs including the Annual Summer Public Health Research Institute and Videoconference on Minority Health, provides information on research and sources of data on minority health, and maintains an extensive set of links to organizations at UNC-CH and elsewhere.

The
Minority Health Network [MHNet]
The Minority Health Network (MHNet) is a world wide web based information source for individuals interested in the health of minority groups. The authors of this homepage understand that the term "minority" typically is one used in the United States and lacking in many respects, but because of its widespread use and in order to facilitate identification of this web site, it will be preserved. Within the context of our homepage, "minority" will be used to refer to all people of color and people who are underrepresented economically and socially.
The Minority Health Network developed under the supervision of Dr. Ronald E. LaPorte and his work on the Global Health Network. It was established in order to better serve the needs of the populations described above, researchers, health care workers and individuals interested in minority health. Resources are grouped by Minority Group, Disease Specific and by Subject.
The specific mission of the Ethnic Health Program is to eliminate all barriers for ethnic population in Utah with respect to health care. The Office of Ethnic Health strive to give a voice to the ethnic populations of Utah to health policy makers, health care providers, and other influential figures that can effect changes in their health status.
The Ethnic Health Committee, an advisory committee to the Department, was created to address these issues and to steer the Ethnic Health Programs toward solving them. The Ethnic Health Committee is composed of volunteer representatives and leaders of the five major ethnic populations of Utah: African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic\Latinos, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders, who meet on a regular basis to voice their insights.
