Preferred term

health disparities  

Definition

  • Health disparities and research related to this topic have been an important concern in medical sociology for decades, but the term health disparities has become more central in medical sociology as well as in public health and medicine more broadly during the past decade. Sometimes the research area is also known as health inequalities, especially outside the United States. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Health Disparities]
