African Americans still face significant health disparities in the United States across numerous health measures. Despite their uniquely poor health outcomes, no other book has taken a laser focus on this community and shed light on best practices based on confirmed and replicated research outcomes. From cardiovascular disease to cancer, the physiology, pharmacology, prevention, and other interventions are, in many cases, uniquely different for African Americans. As such, the optimal approach to achieving the best outcomes is different. This updated edition expands on the success of the first with a distinct precision medicine approach. Data is updated throughout to improve and refine the perspectives given. New sections have been added covering bias, pain, emotional and cultural intelligence, and sickle cell disease. Updated, expanded, and including more specialists in their field, this second edition advances approaches and practices that continue to benefit the clinical care of African Americans. 410 0$aMedicine Series 606 $aInternal medicine 606 $aMedicine, Preventive 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aInternal Medicine 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention 615 0$aInternal medicine. 615 0$aMedicine, Preventive. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 14$aInternal Medicine. 615 24$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 676 $a616 700 $aHall$b Gregory L$0880419 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911021972103321 996 $aPrecision Medicine for African Americans$94429192 997 $aUNINA
