On Health Disparities & Inequalities in the U.S.: 2011 Report

The Centers for Disease Control (U.S.) have released a supplement to their Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) series, a 116-page report entitled CDC Health Disparities and Inequalities Report -- United States, 2011.

This report is the first of its kind from the CDC, although the Foreward, authored by CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, notes that it is the first in a "periodic series."

I will likely have much more to say about this Report once I have had a chance to digest it in full, but the Report is obviously a must-read for anyone interested in health equity and the SDOH in the U.S.
