Abstract

As we gain new knowledge about the determinants of disease, the causes of health disparities, and effective strategies for prevention, the need for effective methods for research and practice has become paramount. Eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health requires reconsidering traditional methods for health research and practice to ensure that disparities are correctly identified and measured, and that interventions effectively target populations at risk.
