Abstract

The Fourth Annual Primary Care and Prevention Conference was held October 25-27, 2004 in Atlanta, Georgia to address inequalities in primary care health outcomes and to develop strategies to improve the health status among under-served communities throughout the country. The Ninth Annual HeLa Women's Health Conference was conducted concurrently during the conference's Tuesday, October 26 sessions and were designed for those in obstetrics/gynecology. The reports herein provide a sample of the rich presentations and scientific knowledge imparted by a faculty of more than 100 who addressed disparities across disease states (heart disease and stroke; cancer; diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and obesity; infectious disease; mental health and mental disorders; environmental health/injury and violence; respiratory diseases; and substance abuse, tobacco use) and within focused areas (adult health; maternal, child and adolescent health; health policy and practice; and social and community health).
