Overview
Studies of disparities in healthcare consistently demonstrate that racial, ethnic, sexual-orientation, and gender minorities tend to receive a lower quality of healthcare than nonminorities, even when access-related factors, such as social or economic status, income, and individual insurance coverage, are controlled. These disparities are found in a wide range of disease and healthcare categories. Many factors contribute to these disparities in healthcare—for example, genetic factors, as in the higher incidence of hypertension among African-Americans.
Institutions interested in this fellowship program must focus their research on the cause for these inequalities and develop solutions to address disparities. Research proposals should be focused on smoking-cessation programs, women’s health/gender medicine, and preventive healthcare to address disparities among populations of different races, ethnicities, or age groups, or between low-income versus high-income populations.
