- Idealized versions of health care are common, and access to health care is often viewed as an unambiguous good.

- Health care providers have long struggled with the utility of race in the prescribing and dosing of medications. It is widely accepted that self-identified race often correlates with geographical ancestry, that geographical ancestry is a major determinant of genomic variation, and that genomic variation can influence reactions to drugs. The challenge for clinicians, however, is that self-…May 2016Illness/Disease/Injury/Wellbeing

Between 1990 and 2015, the global mortality rate for children under age five years dropped by 53 percent, from 90.6 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1990 to 42.5 in 2015 (Liu and others 2016). Maternal mortality is also on the decline globally.1 Despite progress, maternal, neonatal, and under-five…April 2016Maternal/Child Health

In the early 1990s, increased emphasis on health care disparities expanded the focus of cultural competency programs and trainings beyond immigrant populations and interpersonal aspects of cross-cultural health care. New focal areas…March 2016Policy and Practice
