 Pharmacists have a role in eliminating racial and ethnic health disparities
This text will increase students’ understanding of the nature and origins of racial and ethnic health disparities, and help pharmacy students understand their role in eliminating racial and ethnic health disparities by:
- Discussing the concepts of race and ethnicity and the constructs used to classify and categorize them
- Providing an overview of the data collected regarding disparities in mortality, morbidity, provision of health care, and other health indicators
- Describing epidemiologic studies of mechanisms and pathways
- Addressing racial and ethnic health disparities that occur in real-world pharmacy care, such as differences in disease conditions, response to medication, access to care, health literacy, and cultural attitudes towards health and medications
