Summary:

Good data on the health status of groups within racial or ethnic categories, such as Puerto Ricans compared to Mexican-Americans, and the many populations classified as Asian are generally lacking. To address these gaps in knowledge and raise the level of oral and general health of all disadvantaged groups, NIDCR has developed a plan to eliminate health disparities. The plan builds on the Institute's earlier strategic plan, Shaping the Future, which articulates initiatives for research, research capacity, and health promotion. A focus on initiatives in these areas, concentrating on the challenges posed by population groups with less than optimal oral health, will allow us to marshal intellectual and physical resources and enhance partnerships towards eliminating health disparities.
