African American Women's Health

African American women’s health involves understanding unique factors affecting their physical and mental well-being, including higher risks for conditions like heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and some cancers. Social determinants such as healthcare access, socioeconomic status, and experiences of discrimination can influence health outcomes. Addressing these disparities requires culturally competent care, community support, and targeted research to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Promoting awareness and equitable healthcare is essential to enhancing overall health and quality of life for African American women.
