Transdisciplinary Cardiovascular and Cancer Health Disparities Training
The Centers for Population Health and Health Disparities program promotes multilevel and multifactorial health equity research and the building of research teams that are transdisciplinary. We summarized 5 areas of scientific training for empowering the next generation of health disparities investigators with research methods and skills that are needed to solve disparities and inequalities in cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Similarly, positive affect and negative affect were significant predictors of self-efficacy for pain management. M…
