DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES, A VIEW FROM CALIFORNIA Implications for Framing Health Disparities

---

When researchers and policy makers discuss the differential health outcomes for racial and ethnic minorities, what language is appropriate to describe these differences? Are they “disparities”? “Inequalities”? “Inequi- ties”? The definition used depends on how the differences are framed. How people talk about these issues has everything to do with public interest in the topic, what is understandable to people, and what energizes and engages them. The present workshop, then, focused on how these disparities should be framed and how this framework relates to the ways in which disparities are discussed at the community level and across the country. This workshop follows two earlier workshops convened by the Round- table on the Promotion of Health Equity and the Elimination of Health Disparities. The first, held in St. Louis, Missouri, focused on the interface between the health care system and the community in which it is based. The second, held in Atlanta, Georgia, looked at disparities in health outcomes across the life span, with a particular emphasis on young children.
