Disparities in Children's Health Care Quality
Selected Examples from the National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports, 2008
Fact Sheet
----------------------------------
Since 2003, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has produced the National Healthcare Quality Report and the National Healthcare Disparities Report. Despite improvements, differences persist in health care quality among children in racial and ethnic minority groups. Children in low-income families and uninsured families also experience poorer quality care. This fact sheet discusses differences between groups in terms of relative rates, which is the ratio of the comparison group (e.g., Black) to a baseline group (e.g., White).
