Minority Men's Health Initiative

Minority Men's Health Initiative To eliminate health disparities affecting minority men by transforming cultural lifestyles resulting in healthy bodies, families & communities.

Hampton University serves as the lead institution for the Hampton University (HU)-Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center (TCC) for research on minority men's health. The Hampton University TCC (HU-TCC), alternatively known as the Hampton University Minority Men's Health Initiative (MMHI), takes a comprehensive and meaningful approach to narrowin

g the gender gap of health disparities by harnessing the resources and expertise of historically black colleges and universities. These HBCUs will collaborate in developing, advancing and implementing innovative transdisciplinary cross-tiered research that includes intervention components of education, training, and outreach to effectively and efficiently reduce health disparities in minority men. The Hampton University Minority Men's Health Initiative will develop translational research models that are sustainable and transferable across communities, regions and the nation. To this end, integrated research partnerships have been forged in the following areas: cancer (Clark Atlanta University and Hampton University), cardiovascular disease (Jackson State University and Hampton University), violence prevention (Hampton University and Howard University), and diabetes and obesity (North Carolina A&T State University and Saint Augustine’s University). Hampton University Minority Men’s Health Initiative is devoted to increasing research infrastructure and capacity of its partnering historically black colleges and universities.
