| This session will examine the statistical relationship between disproportionate access to health care among racially and ethnically defined populations, and the incidence of health disparities in these groups. With the ultimate goal of eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in mind, better ways to identify and define this relationship between access and disparities will be discussed, as well as strategies for conveying the importance of understanding the relationship to the correct audiences empowered to address the problem, and identifying who those audiences might be. A particular focus will be on the role of public policy and practice in documenting the relationship and advocating for reform | ||||
