The “Black Box”
Healthy People 2020Healthy People 2020• Defines a health disparity as “a particular
type of health difference that is closely linked with i l i d/ i t l social, economic, and/or environmental
disadvantage. • Health disparities adversely affect groups of people
who have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health based on their racial or ethnic group; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; age; mental health; cognitive, sensory, or physical g y p ydisability; sexual orientation or gender identity; geographic location; or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion.”
