The Health Disparities Program is a resource for policymakers, planners, advocates, researchers and the media in understanding the unique health concerns of populations challenged by gaps in health and health care quality along racial, ethnic or socio-economic lines. The Program is particularly noted for its in-depth analysis, research and technical assistance on the health issues and concerns of:
- American Indians and Alaska Natives (American Indian Research Program)
- immigrants
- the Elderly
- women
In addition, the Program conducts specific research, often in collaboration with other programs within the Center, on children’s health issues, low-income groups, urban and rural populations as well as persons with disabilities.
