Health disparities are differences in health outcomes and access to care among different populations. Pediatricians can address these disparities by:
1. Data Collection: Gathering data on health outcomes and access to care based on race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status to identify and address gaps. 2. Personalized Care: Developing care plans that consider the unique circumstances of each child and family. 3. Community Engagement: Working with community leaders and organizations to address social determinants of health.
