ABOUT LISA'S WORK
Lisa Cooper is a nationally and internationally recognized physician and public health researcher whose scholarship on clinical communication is improving medical outcomes for minorities in the United States. A Liberian raised outside of the U.S., she brings a unique perspective to American medical care. While most studies concerning the disparities in health care across race and gender have focused on socioeconomic causes, Cooper has identified the crucial role race, ethnicity, and gender play in the physician-patient relationship. In a landmark 1999 Journal of the American Medical Association paper, she found that minority patients perceived their physicians’ decision-making style as significantly less participatory than non-minorities. She also established a direct link between the propensity of physicians to involve patients in treatment decisions and the success of health care interventions. In response to these findings, Cooper has developed culturally tailored education programs designed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension and depression among African-Americans. Preliminary results indicate that when patients and physicians are trained in patient-centered communication skills, patients are more likely to keep scheduled appointments, take medications as prescribed, and adhere to diet and exercise regimens. Given the growing population in the U.S. of ethnically diverse consumers, Cooper’s analytical and clinical skills are key to enhancing the quality and delivery of medical care.

She is currently a professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

关于莉莎的工作
丽莎-库珀是国内和国际公认的医生和公共卫生研究人员，她在临床沟通方面的学术研究正在改善美国少数民族的医疗结果。作为一个在美国以外长大的利比里亚人，她为美国的医疗服务带来了独特的视角。虽然大多数关于不同种族和性别的医疗保健差异的研究都集中在社会经济原因上，但库珀已经确定了种族、民族和性别在医生和病人关系中的关键作用。在1999年《美国医学会杂志》的一篇具有里程碑意义的论文中，她发现少数民族患者认为他们的医生的决策风格明显比非少数民族的参与度低。她还在医生让病人参与治疗决定的倾向与医疗保健干预的成功之间建立了直接联系。针对这些发现，库珀制定了文化定制教育计划，旨在改善非洲裔美国人的高血压和抑郁症的诊断和治疗。初步结果表明，当病人和医生接受以病人为中心的沟通技巧培训时，病人更有可能遵守预约，按规定服药，并坚持饮食和锻炼计划。鉴于美国不同种族的消费者人口不断增加，库珀的分析和临床技能是提高医疗质量和提供医疗服务的关键。
