  The implicit and explicit biases built into our computing systems are
becoming increasingly clear -- they impact everything from targeting of
advertisements to how we are identified as people. These biases
disproportionately affect marginalized groups -- people who are excluded from
mainstream social, economic, cultural, or political life -- more acutely. While
these biases can affect all aspects of our lives, from leisure to criminal
justice to personal finances, they are all the more critical in the context of
health and healthcare due to their significant personal and societal
implications. In this interdisciplinary workshop, we explored how to design and
build health systems for diverse populations through the following disciplinary
lenses.
  The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) sponsored a two-day workshop titled
Sociotechnical Interventions for Health Disparity Reduction in collaboration
with the leadership of the Society for Behavioral Medicine's (SBM) 39th Annual
Meeting on Monday, April 9 and Tuesday, April 10, 2018 in New Orleans,
Louisiana. The workshop's goal was to bring together leading researchers in
computing, health informatics, behavioral medicine, and health disparities to
develop an integrative research agenda focused on sociotechnical interventions
to reduce health disparities and improve the health of marginalized
populations.
