The Minority Report

The population of people who are more than one race is projected to be the fastest growing racial or ethnic group over the next several decades, followed by Asian Americans and Hispanic/Latino Americans. With the growing diversity – many will witness its impact in our workforce, schools, environments, and social settings. Though health indicators such as life expectancy and infant mortality have improved for most Americans, some people from racial and ethnic minority groups experience a disproportionate burden of preventable disease, death, and disability compared with non-Hispanic White people. We use these statistics in order to improve the health of minority populations.
