摘要

The minority population in the United States is now an estimated 35% of all residents. In four states, minority groups are more than half the population. By 2042, Caucasians will be a minority in this country, reports the U.S. Census Bureau.Despite these demographic trends, minority groups remain underrepre-sented among clinicians and health care executives. Lack of diversity has led to growing concerns over disparities in care, cultural competency and overall equity in the way the health care industry treats minority patients.A number of studies dating back to the Institute of Medicine's groundbreaking 2002 report, "Unequal Treatment," demonstrate that underrepresented groups tend to receive lower quality of care. Recent statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlight that disparity and underscore a perception that it is more difficult for underrepresented groups to receive even basic medical care than their Caucasian peers. African-Americans are 50% more likely to die of a stroke; Latinos are twice as likely as non-Latinos of the same age to have diabetes.
