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.

SOCIAL RESEARCH  DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT  &  CULTURAL MEDIATION
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
We work independently and in collaborative efforts with federal and non federal agencies and
universities.  Our focus is the development of new strategies, solutions and improved outcomes
for social services and public health, effecting rural public health, minority and special
populations. Our mission is improved national and international  social services and community
programs through multicultural  training, and community based social and cultural  research.

We are on the cutting edge of Epigenetic Theory, as it relates to health disparities, social,
emotional, and bio- physiological changes from the cultural norm in special populations.  
Undertaking studies in Cultural Genetics and TransGenetic Adaptive Behavioural Theories to
develop programs designed to assist state and government agencies provide culturally
competent and effective  programs that maximumize agency mission outcomes in diverse
populations.

injustice in health care is the
most shocking and inhumane.
