Black men face 2-3x higher prostate cancer risk & 2x the death rate. Early detection saves lives—book a PSA test today! 💙 Break the stigma. Spread awareness. Take action. #Movember #ProstateCancerAwareness #BlackHealthMatters #MensHealthMatters
This #BHM2024, let's challenge the misconceptions about Black health to empower our communities with knowledge. Join IBHO and help reshape the future of healthcare for Black communities. @NIHRBioResource @GenomicsEngland
Don’t take it from us - take it from Des! Read IBHO volunteer Des’ views on why it’s important to get involved in the IBHO BioResource. We thank Des and all IBHO participants so far for their contribution to this hugely important research. @NIHRBioResource @GenomicsEngland
Our Co Principal investigator, Dr Juliana Onwumere talking to the @BBCNews about the need for better mental health provisions for Black communities. With IBHO, we hope to bridge some of these gaps that Dr Onwumere discusses.

For #WMHD24, Dr Juliana Onwumere spoke to @BBCLondonNews about improving #mentalhealth support for Black communities. She is a Reader in Clinical Psychology @KingsIoPPN and leads the Building Race Equity and Diversity in Research Network @MaudsleyNHS bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
To recognise #SickleCellAwarenessMonth, we're looking back at our contributions towards blood disorder research, the involvement of our volunteers & the importance of representation of diverse ethnic groups in health research. 🩸 @IBHOstudy Find out more: bit.ly/45c4t7a
Dr Onwumere is principal investigator on the @NIHRresearch Improving Black Health Outcomes @IBHOstudy and chair of the South London Building Race Equity and Diversity (BREaD) in Research Network. @NIHRBioResource | @KingsCollegeLon bioresource.nihr.ac.uk/centres-progra…
October is #BlackHistoryMonth, a time to celebrate and reflect on how we can build stronger connections with black communities and deliver research that better serves them. Here, we’re excited to start recruiting for the @IBHOstudy soon! Learn more: bit.ly/IBHO1
We don’t know how many Black women in Canada are impacted by breast cancer. When it comes to race-based data, we often rely on statistics from other countries or guess at who is having worse outcomes, but guessing isn’t good enough. SIGN👉bit.ly/makemecount #MAKEMECOUNT
October marks Black History Month, with this year’s theme being “Reclaiming Narratives”. As we celebrate Black History Month, it is vital to recognise the contributions of Black communities to health research. Keep with us through the month to explore this area.
The ethos of the IBHO research programme is rooted in collaboration with local community groups. From this ethos, we have been able to develop a more inclusive and impactful approach to patient and public involvement, leading to better research. @NIHRBioResource @GenomicsEngland
One of our first conditions of focus at the IBHO BioResource is Sickle Cell, a condition historically not prioritised in research. Through partnering with @GenomicsEngland we have established a Sickle Cell-focused arm of the IBHO BioResource. Get involved! bit.ly/IBHO1
The IBHO questionnaire will ask you a variety of questions based on prior research into health outcomes. Swipe to see what type of questions we will ask if you decide to take part in our research. @NIHRBioResource @GenomicsEngland
Here are the steps to take part in the IBHO project. We keep all your data secure on our servers and your sample will be kept safe in storage at the National Biosample Centre!
At IBHO we want to promote research participation from Black communities, and provide a positive research participant experience.
The Improving Black Health Outcomes BioResource is a new collaborative research programme. Our mission is to put a spotlight on Black health by investigating the health experiences and outcomes of Black people living in the UK. Find out more bit.ly/IBHO1
Happy #AfricaDay2023 Join us today at 17:30 to celebrate, connect and educate with spoken word, poetry, fashion, and debate.
Ensuring people living with #SickleCell get the best care and support is our priority, which is why we are delighted to support the launch of this new programme. Its use of cutting-edge technology to help reduce the side effects of transfusions will make a vital difference.
