An Overview on US Health Disparities
According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the National Healthcare Quality Report (NHQR):
• About 33% of the U.S. population identify as members of racial or ethnic minority groups.
• 38.8 million Blacks or African Americans (12.9% )• ^ 45.5 million Hispanics or Latinos (15.1%)• 13.4 million Asians (4.4%)• 0.5 million Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (NHOPIs)
(0.2%)• ^ ore than 2.9 million American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs)
• By 2050, it is projected that these groups will account for almost half of the U.S. population.
• Racial and ethnic minorities are more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to be poor or near poor and are less likely than non-Hispanic Whites to have a high school education.

Disparities in Quality of Care
Disparities in quality of care are far too common:
• Blacks and AI/ANs received worse care than Whites for about 40% of measures.
• Asians received worse care than Whites for about 20% of measures. • Hispanics received worse care than non-Hispanic Whites for about
60% of core measures. • Poor people received worse care than high- income people for about
80% of core measures.
Few disparities in quality of care are getting better:
• Fewer than 20% of disparities faced by Blacks, AI/ANs, Hispanics, and poor people showed evidence of narrowing.
• The Asian-White gap was narrowing for about 30% of core measures, the largest proportion of any group, but most disparities were not changing.

An Unbalanced Scale
Most minority led organizations are leading efforts that impact minority groups, according to Greenline Institute.
And less than 12% of the funding dollars from private giving institutes supports more than 33% of the minority population in the US, of which over 50% report experiencing health related disparities.
