Who We Are
James, Velox James & Starks is an independent social research consulting group. JVJ&S provides professional
services to clients in the government, public and private sector.
Poverty and social inequality in the United States and around the world are common place particularly in rural
communities. Despite policy reforms and the increasing investment in social programs and projects developed
to address health and socio-economic issues are not producing expected outcomes.
Although multicultural groups make up 30% of the population, fewer than 10% of the management in private
personnel in, public, private and government organizations are members of these groups and fewer in directorial
and managerial positions across all disciplines, have received any meaningful training in cultural competence.
This translates to insensitivity to important cultural values and needs in the development of social and health
programs which significantly reduce the opportunity for successful outcomes. Demographic trends indicate that
by year 2050, one of every two U.S. Workers will be African American, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander or Native
American. Shortfalls in the availability of health services, health insurance, education, cultural competent social
welfare and mental health must be addressed to truly establish a level playing field for communities.
Many in multicultural populations in America currently suffer and die from socio-economic inequality for which
there are solutions and health problems that are treatable. Inadequate training in cultural traditions in
increasingly diverse city and rural areas, cause major problems in state and private agencies responsible for
public services. Public agencies most susceptible are social and children services, Juvenile and Adult Justice
systems, Equal Opportunity, Dept of Labor and Education. It is also vital for government agencies to provide
culturally competent management and diversity training for government employees to insure equity in the
workplace.

We also provide reliable data for studies and research focusing on health disparities, social services and

Disparities in epidemiology and response to available health care systems may in part be related
to poverty, lower levels of education and poorer access to health care. However recent research
also indicate the possibilities of inherited trauma, excessive stress, bio-behavioral elements and
environments that effect physiological systems over time. In order truly address health disparities
and inequality we simply need more information with which to develop more effective social and
rural public health programs
