Race and Population Health

About the "Learn. Connect. Build Community" Series
This series is designed to create an ongoing space where research and community knowledge meet—centering Black voices, lived experiences, and pathways toward healing, resilience, and collective care. Across events, our goal is to make research more accessible, foster dialogue, and build meaningful connections between researchers and the communities we serve.

About the Black Adult Resilience Study
The Black Adult Resilience Study is a multisite research study based in Seattle–Tacoma, WA, and Dallas–Fort Worth, TX, focused on understanding Black mental health. The study examines how personally and culturally relevant stressors interact with culturally grounded strengths, coping strategies, and sources of support. By highlighting not only risk factors but also resilience and protective processes, the study aims to inform more responsive, culturally grounded approaches to mental health research, practice, and policy.

About This Event
In collaboration with Purpose. Dignity. Action. (PDA), this event will explore the intersections of race and population health. This discussion will examine how broader social, structural, and environmental factors shape health outcomes, with particular attention to the experiences of Black communities.

Together, we will create space to better understand how inequities in health are produced and sustained, while also highlighting community knowledge, resilience, and pathways toward more equitable health outcomes. This conversation invites reflection, learning, and dialogue across perspectives.

This session will be led by a speaker from Purpose. Dignity. Action. (PDA), a Seattle-based organization committed to advancing equity, dignity, and community-centered approaches to social change.

Additional details about the speaker and event format will be shared soon.
