Minority Health in America addresses an important health services research and health policy issue regarding health care access variations for ethnic and racial minorities in the United States, the factors that account for these variations, and their likely health and policy consequences. There is no other source at present that assembles evidence from a recent national survey to address the array of access questions posed in this book, particularly in the context of the dynamically changing managed care-dominated health care environment.
