What is Health Equity?

Health equity means that all people have the opportunity to live long, healthy lives, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or other social factors.

Health equity is not simply the absence of disparities in health outcomes. It is also about ensuring that all people have access to the resources and opportunities they need to achieve their full health potential.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Adolescent Health

Racial and ethnic disparities in health are well-documented among adolescents. For example, African American adolescents are more likely to experience obesity, asthma, and mental health problems than their White peers.

These disparities are due to a complex interplay of factors, including socioeconomic status, discrimination, and access to healthcare.
