AB - Racial and ethnic minorities make up an increasingly large proportion of the U.S. population and constitute the majority of residents in certain regions. Historically, people in racial/ethnic minority groups are more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to be poor, to lack a high school education, and to experience disparities in health and health care services.The mission of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is to improve the quality, safety, effectiveness, and efficiency of health care for all Americans. Toward this aim, AHRQ supports research and other activities designed to improve quality and address disparities in health care for racial and ethnic minorities.   Continuing disparities in health care for racial and ethnic minorities are documented in the 2008 National Healthcare Disparities Report. AHRQ's efforts to address these disparities are evident through the Agency's continuing support of research grants, contracts, training opportunities, conferences, partnerships, and publications focused on minority health and disparity reduction.   This Program Brief briefly describes AHRQ's activities related to racial/ethnic disparities in health care and health care services for the period 2007-2009. To learn how you can get more in-depth information about AHRQ's disparities research, see the last page of this publication.
