Health disparities are reflected by indices such as excess mortality and morbidity and shorter life expectancy. Examining the Health Disparities Research Plan of the National Institutes of Health is an assessment of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Strategic Research Plan and Budget to Reduce and Ultimately Eliminate Health Disparities. It focuses on practical solutions to remedy the state of the current health disparity crisis. The NIH has played the leading role in conducting extensive research on minority health and health disparities for more than two decades. Although additional research is critical to facilitating a better understanding of the overarching social, economic, educational, and environmental factors that predispose groups to specific diseases and conditions, there is also a great need to translate the existing and new information into best care practices. This means increasing communication with affected populations and their communities. Examining the Health Disparities Research Plan of the National Institutes of Health presents solutions to improving the health disparities nationwide and evaluates the NIH strategy plan designed to actively correct and combat the ongoing health disparities dilemma. 606 $aHealth services accessibility$zUnited States 606 $aSocial medicine$zUnited States 606 $aMedical policy$zUnited States 606 $aMedical care$zUnited States$xEvaluation 615 0$aHealth services accessibility 615 0$aSocial medicine 615 0$aMedical policy 615 0$aMedical care$xEvaluation. 676 $a362.1/0425 701 $aThomson$b Gerald E$01803680 701 $aMitchell$b Faith$f1952-$01803681 701 $aWilliams$b Monique$01803682 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on the Review and Assessment of the NIH's Strategic Research Plan And Budget to Reduce and Ultimately Eliminate Health Disparities. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969621503321 996 $aExamining the health disparities research plan of the National Institutes of Health$94351325 997 $aUNINA
