National Healthcare Disparities Report - 2005

The AHRQ has released the 2005 National Healthcare Disparities Report.

According to the recent AHRQ press report (1/9/06) the latest National Healthcare Disparities Report "finds that many of the largest disparities in measures of quality and access are observed for low-income people regardless of race or ethnicity, with some signs of improvement. Overall, more racial disparities in quality of care were narrowing than were widening, and most racial disparities in access to care were narrowing (affecting blacks, Asians and American Indians/Alaska Natives). But for Hispanics, the majority of disparities for both quality and access were growing wider."
