Examples of Health Disparities TODAY that effect our friends, families, neighbors, and loved ones.

COVID: African Americans have almost three times more likely to get COVID and two times more likely to die. (CDC August 18, 2020).

Infant Mortality: 15.6 African American infant deaths per 1,000 versus 2.5 deaths per 1000 for whites. African Americans, Indian, and Alaska Native (AI/AN) women are two to three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/maternalinfanthealth/infantmortality.htm

Heart Disease: African Americans are 30 percent more likely than whites to die prematurely from heart disease and African American men are twice as likely as whites to die prematurely from stroke (HHS, 2016b). Moreover, African American and American Indian/Alaska Native females have higher rates of stroke-related death than Hispanic and white women.

Colorectal cancer: African Americans have the highest incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) of any ethnic group in the United States. African Americans bear a disproportionate burden, with an incidence of CRC that is more than 20% higher than in whites and an even larger difference in mortality (ncbi.nlm.hih.gov).ps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5785537/ ttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5785537/
