  Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists. Health Disparities Subcommittee. ; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)
• Description:
  Health disparities are differences in health outcomes and their determinants between groups of the population, as defined by social, demographic, environmental and geographic attributes that reflect social inequalities and thus should be preventable (1). Race and ethnicity, sex, sexual identity, age, disability, socioeconomic status and geographic location all contribute to an individual’s ability to achieve good health (2). Public health authorities must track these common attributes in order to monitor the health of disadvantaged populations.
