MINORITIES HIT HARD BY COMMONLY REPORTED DISEASE

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – During April, Minority Health Month and STD Awareness Month, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is teaming up with numerous organizations to address health disparities in Illinois, especially the disproportionate number of minorities impacted by sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). These diseases continue to be the most commonly reported infectious diseases in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Department is helping to sponsor minority health education and screening events across Illinois during April, many of which focus on STD education and awareness.
