APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING/RE-POSTING The <http://www.raceequalityfoundation.org.uk/index.asp> Race Equality Foundation is a national charity which promotes race equality and helps to overcome barriers by exploring discrimination and disadvantage. We are currently commissioning evidence-based briefing papers for <http://www.better-health.org.uk/> Better Health and <http://www.better-housing.org.uk/> Better Housing projects. The papers are usually around 8 pages long (including bibliography), and although they focus on a variety of different issues and ethnic groups, overarching themes include: * the obstacles to the participation and engagement of black and minority ethnic service users in health services, such as segregation, dispersal or language * the limitations which exist in the provision of culturally, ethnically and linguistically appropriate services, especially for service users who may be in rural areas/present a significant minority * the impact of personal or institutional racism upon black and minority ethnic service users and staff * the intersections between age, disability, gender, faith, poverty and ethnicity * best practice examples to tackle discrimination and disadvantage In particular, we are currently seeking authors for papers on the following themes: * the financial cost of poor housing to the health service * successful initiatives to improve health through improvements in housing * how to ensure that IAPT reaches black and minority ethnic communities * how to ensure that personalisation improves experiences and outcomes for black and minority ethnic communities/excluded groups * effective use of the NHS Constitution If you are interested in producing a paper, please send us with a short blurb or 4-5 bullet points to outline the content/structure of the paper. Please see other examples of briefings in the <http://www.better-health.org.uk/briefings> Better Health and <http://www.better-housing.org.uk/briefings> Better Housing collections.
