Progress Toward Elimination of Health Disparities


The public health infrastructure objectives are not population based. Therefore, a disparity analysis was not conducted, and no disparities table is included in the Healthy People 2010 Midcourse Review. The objectives work to eliminate disparities in access to care and health outcomes for vulnerable populations by addressing the capacity and resources of the public health infrastructure and the training of the persons who work within it.
