Disparities exist among racial and ethnic groups with regard to
their health. Non-Hispanic Caucasians were more likely to be
in very good or excellent health than were other groups
nationally and in almost every state. Education appears to be an
indicator of improved health in non-Hispanic Caucasians than
other groups. What is contributing to this disparity? What is
the significance to healthcare administrators?
