NASW Press’s Health and Social Work Journal Explores Health Disparities
Inequality increasingly exists in health care and health status for disadvantaged populations, such as racial and ethnic minorities, homeless veterans, residents of rural areas, women, families with low incomes, and others. In addition, particular health disparities (for example, HIV infection) have reached pandemic proportions among racial and ethnic minority communities.
The special issue of Health and Social Work was inspired by the persistence of health care disparities between the rich and the poor. The articles included are unified by their attention to these subjects.
