"Unequal Treatment" (National Academies report)

"Unequal Treatment" refers to a report by the National Academies that highlights disparities in healthcare among different racial and ethnic groups in the United States. It examines how systemic factors, such as bias in treatment and access to care, contribute to these inequalities. The report emphasizes that individuals from marginalized communities often receive lower quality care, despite similar health needs, leading to worse health outcomes. It calls for system-wide changes to ensure equitable treatment and improve healthcare access for everyone, regardless of their background.
