Editor Cohen (rapporteur, Roundtable on Health Disparities, Institute of Medicine of the National Academies) has collected diverse perspectives and technical expertise on racial and ethnic disparities in health care in the United States. Using the proceedings from a 2007 workshop, this volume for researchers and practitioners covers such topics as the impact of geography on health disparities, successful clinical and community strategies and the existence of health disparities in business environments. Appendices include biographies of the workshop attendees, the proposed agenda of the roundtable and data on mortality disparity based on both geography and race.
