health disparities among school-age youth  

Definición

  • The term health disparities is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as differences among various populations in terms of the burden of diseases and disabilities they experience, and that these differences are preventable. For school-age youth, disparities in incidence, prevalence, and burden of health conditions are also linked to disparities in educational attainment and achievement.
