Health Services and Outcomes Research Seminars
The Health Service and Outcomes Research Seminars from the WV CoHORTS Center is a forum to bring together researchers from within and outside West Virginia University to shareresearch findings. The goal is to “teach, learn, and collaborate.” West Virginia and the Appalachian region have high mortality and morbidity rates due to poverty, low education levels, inadequate access to care, and unemployment. The long-term goal of this Center is to establish a center of excellence that produces ongoing, rigorous research in health services and health outcomes that will focusonreducing health disparities and improve the overall health of the citizens of West Virginia.

Current Research Issues
The purpose of this course is to offer challenging seminars, which will utilize research-based discussions to stimulate a unique information gathering environment. Review of current research issues will serve as a basis for discussions of recently presented data, that will have an impact on public health and incorporation of this new data into improved public health practice.
The faculty presentations of current research and investigations will be by faculty from West Virginia University, the WVU Health Sciences Center, and NIOSH (CDC). This will include epidemiologists, health science and public health researchers who will discuss individual current research issues.
