Defining Health Equity Generally used in a political context Considered a priority for WHO, ACA Equal access to health care and level of care Both primary and advanced care Requires affordability Lots of locations Uniform standard of care Uniform results of care across race, age, gender, socioeconomic class, level of education

Defining Health Equity In the United States, there are disparities in health and access to care based on: Race Income Residence Level of education

Measurements of Health Equity Health equity is the absence of unfair and avoidable or remediable differences in health services and outcomes among groups of people. (WHO) Some of the statistics used include: Mortality Rates Access to professional health personnel Access to pre-natal care Vaccinations

Healthy People 2020 Goal: Improve access to comprehensive, quality health care service Objectives: Increase the proportion of persons with health insurance Increase the number of practicing primary care providers Increase the proportion of persons who have a specific source of ongoing care Reduce the proportion of persons who are unable to obtain or delay in obtaining necessary medical care, dental care, or prescription medicines Increase the proportion of persons who receive appropriate evidence-based clinical preventative services Increase the proportion of persons who have access to rapidly responding prehospital emergency medical services Reduce the proportion of hospital emergency department visits in which the wait time to see an emergency department clinician exceeds the recommended time frame

Health Disparities Cancer Deaths 2004: overall cancer death rate was 1.2 times higher among African Americans than among Whites Diabetes 2005: Native Hawaiians/PI (15.4%), AI/AN (13.6%), AA (11.3%), Hispanics/Latinos (9.8%) were all significantly more likely to have been diagnosed with diabetes compared to their White counterparts (7%) HIV/AIDS African Americans, who comprise approximately 12% of the US population, accounted for half of the HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed between 2001 and 2004 Tooth Decay : more than twice as many children from poor families experienced a greater number of untreated cavities than children from non-poor families Of those children living below 100% of poverty level, Mexican American children (35%) and AA children (26%) were more likely to experience untreated cavities than White children (20%) Table adapted from Brennan Ramirez LK, et al., 2008

Health Disparities Insurance Coverage 2007: Hispanics were 3 times more likely to be uninsured than non-Hispanic Whites (31% versus 10%, respectively) 2007: Families with income below the poverty level were 3 times more likely to be uninsured compared to people with family income more than twice the poverty level Access to Resources Lower income and minority communities are less likely to have access to grocery stores with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables Transportation 38.9% of Hispanic/Latinos, 55.2% of AAs, and 29.6% of Asians live in households with one vehicle or less compared to 24.5% of Whites Low-income minorities spend more time traveling to work and other daily destinations than do low-income Whites because they have fewer private vehicles and use public transit and car pools more frequently Table adapted from Brennan Ramirez LK, et al., 2008

The Affordable Care Act Designed to provide all Americans with adequate health care Requires health insurance to be available for all individuals and families Employers must provide full time employees with health insurance Faces opposition on portions of the requirements Many logistical issues for full enactment also remain

The Affordable Care Act Cannot provide a solution for de facto segregation and differences in access due to location Physician shortage is becoming more pronounced, especially for primary care Financial constraints on small businesses to provide insurance Actual cost v. project costs?

Research and Programs on Health Disparities Most of the information gathered comes from surveys. It focuses on the determinants of health including economical and social. The CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion is working to eliminate health disparities.

REACH Stands for Racial and Ethnic Approaches for Community Health It is focused at the community level to eliminate health disparities. Works with local chapters of national programs and funds community based organizations. Also gathers information from its own risk factor survey.
