MESA Center for Health Disparities
MESA is a partnership between the University of Michigan School of Nursing
(UM-SN) and the University of
Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio School of Nursing (UTHSCSA-SN).
This project is funded by a grant from the National Institute for Nursing
Research (NINR), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Center's
purpose is to:
- Develop culturally appropriate research
methods and expand
the number of nurses involved in health disparities
research.
- Develop web-enhanced modules to enhance students’ and
faculties’ abilities to conduct research in health disparities.
- Focus on health promotion and health
restoration.
The establishment of the MESA Center has increased the visibility of nurse
researchers as significant contributors in addressing health disparities.
The UM MESA team has developed a number of online learning modules relating
to health disparities and culturally competent research methods. The
modules (linked below) are available for use by anyone in health and research
fields; we simply ask that you link to the pages below (instead
of trying to copy the files for re-distribution) and that you please
give MESA appropriate authorship credits.
