Public Health Ethics Forums
In April 1915, Booker T. Washington dispatched a letter to the leading African American newspapers proposing the observance of a “National Negro Health Week.” That observance grew into what is today National Minority Health Month, a month-long initiative to advance health equity across the country on behalf of all racial and ethnic minorities.
In 2015, CDC partnered with the National Center for Bioethics in Research and Healthcare at Tuskegee University to commemorate 100 years of public health evolution by hosting a forum for discourse on public health, ethics, and health disparities. A public health ethics lens ensures a uniquely expanded focus on population health opportunities and challenges. This forum became an annual event and has grown to focus on a variety of populations and ways to enhance ethical concerns associated with some public health programs intended for these populations. Participants leave with greater awareness of ways to address ethical implications of their public health programs.
In the anniversary year of OMHHE, the focus of the 2018 Public Health Ethics forum was minority elders and healthy aging. A recording of the event and continuing education credits are available.
