Abstract
Abstract The research for this paper began several years ago in a graduate medical statistics class where I was told that “certain ethnic and cultural groups just have worse medical outcomes than others”. This paper looks at the different major divisions of our population and then; 1) develops a framework for understanding which groups are affected by the differences in medical access and outcomes, 2) attempts to document some of the reasons for these differences, and 3) offers some conclusions and possible first steps to improve the health of these groups and our society’s ability to provide care for the entire population.
