Ethnic health disparities refer to differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare services among different racial and ethnic groups. These disparities can be related to factors such as access to healthcare, socioeconomic status, discrimination, cultural values and beliefs, and genetic predispositions. Research in this area aims to understand the root causes of these disparities and develop interventions to address them, ultimately aiming to achieve health equity for all populations. Studies in this area often focus on various health issues such as chronic diseases, mental health, maternal and child health, and access to preventive care. Addressing ethnic health disparities is crucial in order to ensure that all individuals have equal opportunities to achieve optimal health outcomes.
