Summary: Used it in class
Comment: We used this book in my class at this past semester. It was a good overview of the key studies in health disparities. I learned alot about health disparities. Overall I found this book to be a good resource for my class.

Rating: 5
Summary: Comprehensive
Comment: A very comprehensive overview of the issues around minority health in the United States. Does not deal with international issues, but the topic of race, ethnitity and health in the US is big enough. You are interested in learning about the topic, this is a very good place to start. You will be depressed after reading some of this. The studies described in the book are convincing and you can't help but conclude that we have a serious problem with regard to minority health.

Rating: 5
Summary: For everyone interested in health care
Comment: This readable compendium of stellar research is important reading for anyone involved in or interested in health care today. It is also an escellent compilation of well-designed studies that challenge status quo thinking; it would be an excellent text for a research methodology course. This Public Health reader is also appropiratie for individual readings as well as a text for courses in nursing, medicine, public health, social policy, and health care administration.

The readings are compelling, disturbing, and encouraging. The book does a good job of addressing historical and political factors, presenting startling health disparity data, documenting differential health care experiences, demonstrating health care provider biases in perceptions of patients and subsequent treatment, and outlining related research challenges.

The book leaves the reader wtih a fresh understanding of national health disparies, the issues our nation faces in achieving better health for all, and the need for proactrve policies, procedures, and research that can close the gap between majority and minority health and health care,
