In 2010, Dr. Tillman Farley gave a lecture about racial disparities in healthcare to a group of medical students—little did he know that he would inspire seven of those students to create a coalition of community members, physicians, students, and 2040 Partners for Health known as C-STAHR (Community-Students Together Against Healthcare Racism).
OUR MISSION
For students and the community to work together to better understand perceived discrimination and design a feasible intervention to better equip future healthcare providers and community members to reduce its effects.
OUR METHODS
To accomplish its mission, C-STAHR employs Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) techniques to ensure that research and health interventions are driven by the needs of the community. Decision-making is split between members and our projects range from education/outreach to creating clinic based tools to improve patient-provider relationships to empowering minority youth.
