Abstract:

* Eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health is a major national objective, one of two overall goals for Healthy People 2010. Efforts to eliminate health disparities must incorporate strategies to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in health care as well. These strategies are also a critical component of overall efforts to improve health care quality.
