Abstract:
All Californians should have access to the high-quality health care they need to lead long and healthy lives. Achieving this requires reducing disparities in health care and the social determinants of health that affect historically excluded or marginalized groups. Disparities occur across many demographic categories, including race/ethnicity, economic status, age, place of residence, gender, disability status, language, and sexual orientation. As one of the most racially diverse states in the nation, California has a critical responsibility to address health disparities experienced by people of color. Health Disparities by Race and Ethnicity in California: Pattern of Inequity shows that people of color face barriers in accessing health care, often receive suboptimal treatment, and are most likely to experience poor outcomes in the health care system.
