Disparities by Race, Ethnicity, and Socioeconomic Status

A MiCDA Research Signature Theme

The most severe health problems in the United States are concentrated among minority groups, and elders from disadvantaged backgrounds bear a substantial burden. Michigan has a large concentration of researchers who focus on these issues from social, economic, medical, policy, and public health perspectives. Interdisciplinary projects are common.
