Developing the Implementation of Ethnic Monitoring
Ethnic Monitoring and Its Uses in Colleges
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781853382529
Category : College students
Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
Colleges of further education in Great Britain have been involved in three recent initiatives in the implementation of ethnic monitoring: (1) a report on ethnic monitoring in postsecondary education; (2) two management training conferences on the implementation and uses of ethnic monitoring for representatives of further, adult, and higher education as well as local authorities; and (3) ethnic monitoring at the course level as the result of a more detailed study of how individual colleges use ethnic monitoring data to inform their internal planning and policymaking practices, improve the quality of services, and promote equal opportunities for ethnic minorities. Among potential benefits to be gained from introducing ethnic monitoring are that such monitoring facilitates: the collection of background data to use for future developments on equal opportunities; the ability of colleges to review provision and service delivery in the light of analysis of ethnic background information on their student body; and the drawing of comparisons across the years in the areas of services to minority groups. Ethnic monitoring has revealed that black students tend to enroll in low-level courses, Asian women are underrepresented in further and higher education, and there are differences in enrollment patterns between men and women. Key issues to evolve from ethnic monitoring at course level include the need for involvement of senior management, the importance of publication and dissemination of results, and the necessity of relating ethnic data to other information.

Race, Ethnicity, and Language Data
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309140129
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
The goal of eliminating disparities in health care in the United States remains elusive. Even as quality improves on specific measures, disparities often persist. Addressing these disparities must begin with the fundamental step of bringing the nature of the disparities and the groups at risk for those disparities to light by collecting health care quality information stratified by race, ethnicity and language data. Then attention can be focused on where interventions might be best applied, and on planning and evaluating those efforts to inform the development of policy and the application of resources. A lack of standardization of categories for race, ethnicity, and language data has been suggested as one obstacle to achieving more widespread collection and utilization of these data. Race, Ethnicity, and Language Data identifies current models for collecting and coding race, ethnicity, and language data; reviews challenges involved in obtaining these data, and makes recommendations for a nationally standardized approach for use in health care quality improvement.

Eliminating Health Disparities
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309166136
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Disparities in health and health care across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds in the United States are well documented. The reasons for these disparities are, however, not well understood. Current data available on race, ethnicity, SEP, and accumulation and language use are severely limited. The report examines data collection and reporting systems relating to the collection of data on race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic position and offers recommendations.

Communities in Action
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309452961
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 583
Book Description
In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Equally Fair?

Book Description
To what extent do social services departments monitor the use of their services by the black and minority ethnic community? This report examines social services departments' experiences of ethnic record keeping and monitoring and their views about it and establishes the use they make of the results. Based on a national survey of social services departments, its findings suggest that if social services departments are committed to providing services that meet the needs of the black and minority ethnic community, then at the very least they need to consider how coherent and comprehensive their policy and monitoring frameworks are.
