| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS nVR0xqlq. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : This study examined Chicago residents'progress toward the Healthy People 2000 goal of reducing racial disparities in health and compared the results with a recent analysis of US data. Methods : Non-Hispanic Black-to-non-Hispanic White rate ratios were computed for 14 health status indicators for 1990 and for 1998. Results : Nationally and in Chicago, indicators for both Blacks and Whites improved between 1990 and 1998 ; however, Whites consistently fared better. Nationally, gaps narrowed on 10 indicators : for Chicago, they widened on 10 indicators. Conclusions : Nationally there is apparent progress in reducing Black-White disparities : this is not true for Chicago. Whether failure to reduce racial disparities is unique to Chicago or is common to other urban centers remains an open question with important implications. |
