You are invited to attend on:

Born black, brown or white in today's Britain: Does it really matter?

Dr Yvonne Kelly
UCL Epidemiology & Public Health

People from certain ethnic minority groups living in the UK are at
increased risk of disease and death compared with the majority population,
but the reasons for these patterns are not known. It is also not clear at
what point during life such differences begin to appear - could this be as
early as childhood or even infancy? This lecture looks at the origins of
ethnic
differences in health - are they genetic, cultural, or socio-environmental?

Yvonne Kelly is a Senior Lecturer and Graduate Tutor in UCL Epidemiology
and Public Health. Her main research interests are on understanding the
causes and consequences of health inequalities and a primary focus of her
work is socio- economic and ethnic inequalities in child and parent
health.
