Health Issues in the Black Community
"The outstanding editors and authors of Health Issues in the
Black Community have placed in clear perspective the challenges and
opportunities we face in working to achieve the goal of health
equity in America."
-- David Satcher, MD, PhD, 16th Surgeon General of the United
States and director, Satcher Health Leadership Institute at
Morehouse School of Medicine
"Eliminating health disparities must be a central goal of any
forward thinking national health policy. Health Issues in the Black
Community makes a valuable contribution to a much-needed dialogue
by focusing on the challenges of the black community."
-- Marc Morial, Esq., president, National Urban League
"Health Issues in the Black Community illuminates
comprehensively the range of health conditions specifically
affecting African Americans, and the health disparities both within
the black community and between racial and ethnic groups. Each
chapter, whether addressing the health of African Americans by age,
gender, type of disease, condition or behavior, is well-detailed
and tells an important story. Together, they offer practitioners,
consumers, scholars, and policymakers a crucial roadmap to address
and change the social determinants of health, reduce disparities,
and create more equal treatment for all Americans."
-- Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA, president, Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation
"I recommend Health Issues in the Black Community as a must-read
for anyone concerned about the future of the African American
community. Health disparities continues to be one of the major
issues confronting the black community. This book will help to
highlight the issues and keep attention focused on the work to be
done."
-- Elsie Scott, PhD, president of the Congressional Black Caucus
Foundation
"This book is the definitive examination of health issues in
black America--issues sadly overlooked and downplayed in our
culture and society. I congratulate Drs. Braithwaite, Taylor, and
Treadwell for their monumental book."
-- Cornel West, PhD, professor, Princeton University
