At the turn of the 21st century, several important reports and
events designed to raise awareness of health disparities and to
describe initial efforts to reduce health disparities took place.
The Surgeon General's office released several reports that showed
dramatic disparities in tobacco use and access to mental health
services by race and ethnicity. The first real legislation focused
on reducing health disparities was signed into law, creating the
National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities within
the NIH. In 2001, the IOM released its landmark report, Crossing
the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century,
highlighting the importance of a focus on health care quality
rather than a focus on only access and cost issues. Building upon
these reports and events, the IOM held a workshop on April 8, 2010,
that discussed progress to address health disparities and focused
on the success of various federal initiatives to reduce health
disparities. How Far Have We Come in Reducing Health Disparities?
summarizes the workshop and explains the progress in the field
since 2000. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2 What
