Racial disparities exist in health care treatment and outcomes. Minorities are less likely to receive adequate pain treatment and newer cardiac treatments compared to whites. Socioeconomic status is a strong predictor of health, and racial minorities face more health risks at all income levels. Neighborhood and geographical factors also influence health, as racial minorities often live in poorer areas with less access to healthy options and quality providers. Options to address these disparities include increasing data collection and analysis, raising public and provider awareness, and improving healthcare access in underserved communities.
