Achieving a high level of population health status is commensurate with the worldwide leadership position of the United States. Without attention to reducing these disparities within the nation, the United States will continue to spend more but have significantly poorer health across many indicators when compared with other industrialized nations. By providing this up-to-date account of disparities in access, quality, and health status of the nation's more vulnerable populations, this book heightens awareness of the challenges we face and measures progress that has been made toward reducing health and health care disparities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $a A general framework to study vulnerable populations -- Community determinants and mechanisms of vulnerability -- Influence of individual risk factors -- Influence of multiple risk ractors -- Current strategies to serve vulnerable populations -- Resolving disparities in the United States. 650 0 $a Poor $x Medical care $z United States. 650 0 $a People with social disabilities $x Medical care $z United States. 650 0 $a Health services accessibility $z United States. 650 12 $a Vulnerable Populations. 650 22 $a Health Services Accessibility. 650 22 $a Quality of Health Care. 650 22 $a Health Status Disparities. 650 22 $a Healthcare Disparities. 651 2 $a United States. 650 7 $a Health services accessibility. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00953278 650 7 $a People with social disabilities $x Medical care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057454 650 7 $a Poor $x Medical care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071102 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Stevens, Gregory D., $d 1973- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shi, Leiyu, $t Vulnerable populations in the United States $b Third edition. $d San-Francisco : Jossey-Bass, 2021. $z 9781119627685 $w (DLC) 2021000700 830 0 $a Public health, vulnerable populations 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214024202.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72FA9A1C72D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
