  1. Minority Affairs Committee Fall 2018

  2. MAC Vulnerable Populations Checklist • Problem: It is often late in committee project work when impact to minority and vulnerable populations is examined. The MAC would like to ensure that impact on these populations is assessed consistently and early in project work. • Solution: The MAC developed a “project checklist” for Committees to use as part of POC approved project work. The checklist will standardize assessment of how the project impacts selected populations. • Tool for committees to use • After POC approval • During public comment

  3. Checklist Components • Populations considered by OPTN: • Race and ethnic minority groups • Age • Populations with physical/mental disabilities or impairment • Women

  4. Checklist Components • Other vulnerable populations that may be affected: • LGBT Groups • Veterans • Incarcerated or Paroled Populations • Public Insurance and uninsured groups • Adults with high school education or less • Citizenship status • Geographic Disparity: • Rural, urban or urbanized cluster • Non-contiguous (Hawaii, Alaska, U.S. territories) • Economically deprived areas

  5. New MAC Projects • Socio-Economic Status (SES) & Access to Transplant • New MAC project on addressing the concern that SES impacts access to transplant • Subcommittee working on literature review related to the problem • Disparity in Non-contiguous states/territories • New MAC project on concern that there may be a disparity in allocation to non-contiguous states & territories • Research performing data analysis to identify whether concern relates to actual problem • Will be presenting to MAC at in-person meeting in September
