Minority Populations and Health: An Introduction to Health Disparities in the U.S.
"This is a very comprehensive, evidence-based book dealing with the health disparities that plague the United States. This is a welcome and valuable addition to the field of health care for minority groups in the United States."-- Doody's Publishers Bulletin, August 2005
"Health isn’t color-blind. Racial minorities disproportionately suffer from some diseases, but experts say race alone doesn’t completely account for the disparities. Newsweek's Jennifer Barrett Ozols spoke with Thomas LaVeist, director of the Center for Health Disparities Solutions at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and author of the upcoming book, "Minority Populations and Health: An Introduction to Health Disparities in the U.S." (Jossey-Bass) about race and medicine. "-- MSNBC/Newsweek interview with author Thomas L. LaVeist, February 2005
"The book is readable and organized to be quickly read with specifics readily retrievable. It is comprehensive and visual."-- Journal of the American Medical Association, September 2005
Minority Populations and Health is a textbook that offers a complete foundation in the core issues and theoretical frameworks for the development of policy and interventions to address race disparities in health-related outcomes. This book covers U.S. health and social policy, the role of race and ethnicity in health research, social factors contributing to mortality, longevity and life expectancy, quantitative and demographic analysis and access, and utilization of health services.

Customer Reviews:
Well written and informative
By David Migl - September 23, 2009I used this book for a race & minority health class. It is very well written and does a good job at synthesizing information about this subject. I will agree with a previous reviewer that there is plenty of theory and explanations in addition to charts and statistics. The only negative thing is that sometimes there are lots of theories to explain a phenomenon (for example, lower minority mortality rates among the elderly) with more research needing to be done to determine which explanation is correct.
There was a good balance between facts and explanations, and the book was very readable and understandable. It did a great job emphasizing the changing demographics of the United States and the need to focus on the issue of minority health.
I am a biomedical engineering major, so the work is not directly pertinent to my field, but I still enjoyed reading it and thinking about the ideas it contains, even a year after I finished my class.
