Description
On August 16-17, 2023, the National Academies' ad hoc Committee on Unequal Treatment Revisited will host a virtual workshop to discuss racial and ethnic healthcare disparities in the U.S. This will be the second in a series of workshops.
The study committee is tasked by the National Institutes of Health to examine the current state of racial and ethnic healthcare disparities in the U.S, highlight the major drivers of healthcare disparities, provide insight into successful and unsuccessful interventions, identify gaps in the evidence base and propose strategies to close those gaps, consider ways to scale and spread effective interventions to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in health care, and make recommendations to advance health equity. This work builds on the 2003 Institute of Medicine consensus report, Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care.
