Diversity, Demographics, and Disparities in Accessing and Delivering Health Information and Health Care
Co-sponsored with Relevant Issues, Consumer and Patient Health Information, Public Health/Health Administration Sections and Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Mental Health, Osteopathic, African American and Outreach SIGs.

Part I:
The ability to access quality health care may be viewed as a "health parity" issue. Particularly in the areas of mental health, chronic illness, HIV, diseases that affect specific populations, and for the underserved and underinsured, the lack of parity exacts social, economic and personal costs. In some cases, managed care has only added to this disparity. Papers will examine ways that obstacles to parity are addressed.
