Ethnospecific Research, Data Collection, & Consulting
The national consensus regarding health care improvement, is that a reduction in health disparities and health inequality is required. Despite recent national efforts, health equity remains elusive, predominantly because the poor health of the African American community persists.
It is important to note that the term African American is used generally to refer to individuals with melanin dominant phenotype and does not specifically describe a singular ethnic group, rather a collective pool of multiple ethnicities that share a similar skin complexion and physical features. The biomedical research community has yet to fully appreciate this diversity. KemetiCare seeks to develop studies to help frame policies and interventions to ameliorate health disparities, more specifically those of African American community.
We are currently seeking collaboration with institutions to help build a conceptual model to relate social (distal) determinants, with individual (proximal) determinants of health.
