Racial and ethnic disparities across health and healthcare measures U.S. 2023
As of 2023, across 70 measures assessing health and healthcare in the U.S., the Black, AI/AN, and Hispanic populations fare worse than the White population. The racial/ethnic disparity was largest comparing Black and White populations. The Black population fared worse than the White population across 55 health and healthcare measures, while they only fared better than the White population for 12 of them.
On the other hand, the Asian population did not fare worse than White people across most examined measures. Nonetheless, these measures cover aspects of health coverage, access, and use; health status, outcomes, and behaviors; and social determinants of health, yet more is needed to provide the full scope of healthcare disparities.
