Studies show that there are measures that can be taken to limit or mitigate this starting with comprehensive diversity training in medical, nursing school or allied health education. This guide covers the history of disparities in healthcare, how to combat these issues, and how you can be prepared to give the best care possible as a doctor, nurse or allied health professional. COVID-19 Pinpointing the root cause of healthcare disparities is often fraught with division and highly politicized opinion.

The 20th century has witnessed the transformation of the United States from a predominately white population rooted in Western culture to a society with a rich array of racial and ethnic minorities. As the century began, the U.S. population was 87 percent white. The nonwhite minority was composed primarily of black Americans living in the rural South. At the century’s end, non-Hispanic whites account for less than 75 percent of the U.S. population. The minority population is comprised of nearly as many Hispanics as blacks, surging numbers of Asians, and a small but growing American Indian population. By the middle of the 21st century, non-Hispanic whites will make up a slim and fading majority of Americans. Hispanics will be nearly one-fourth of the U.S. population. Blacks, Asians, and American Indians together will make up close to one-fourth of the population. “Minority” is likely to have a very different meaning in the 21st century. America’s ethnic landscape also includes a rapidly growing Arab population, a sizeable Jewish population, and other ethnic groups. But in the 1990s, the term “minority” usually refers to four major racial and ethnic groups: African Americans, American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asians and Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics. This transformation of America’s racial and ethnic profile is most visible in certain states and communities. The four minority groups make up at least one-half of the residents in Honolulu, Los Angeles, Miami, San Antonio...

A List of Minority Groups [by %] Many companies are focusing on minority groups as a part of their diversity initiatives. In this article, we created a list of minority groups and included their % of the U.S. population [if we could find it] using census data. This article will use the term “underrepresented” and “minority” interchangeably. However, there is a trend away from the phrase “minority” because some people take offense to the “minor” part of “minority”. For this article we are using it more in the statistical sense. What is a minority? How do you define minority group? Minority groups describe racially, ethnically, or culturally distinct groups that are not in a larger majority group. “In the United States, for example, non-Hispanic Whites constitute the majority (63.4%) and all other racial and ethnic groups (Mexican, African Americans, Asian Americans, American Indian, and Native Hawaiians) are classified as “minorities”.” What is an underrepresented group? What is an An underrepresented group is a subset of a population with a smaller percentage than the general population—for example, people of color (POC) or indigenous people. Companies also use terms such as underrepresented ethnic groups, underrepresented communities, and underrepresented cultures to describe these groups. Some consider minority vs underrepresented group to be the same. The only difference we found is that an underrepresented group is a subset of a minority group. (e.g. If the percentage ...
