| Popis: | The article discusses the authors' claim that health disparities in America are being sustained by continued economic inequality as of 2017, and it mentions the historical efforts to prevent health disparities, as well as information about the relationship between population health and income gaps. U.S. public health research is addressed, along with America's Health and Retirement Survey and reductions in HIV infections and tobacco-use in the country. |
