CHICAGO ANSWERS THE CALL
7. Healthy Chicago: Promoting Health Equity
• Improvement in the public’s health requires a
commitment to health equity and the elimination of
racial and ethnic disparities
• Healthy environments are key
• Persons of lower SES are often exposed to fewer
factors that promote health and more factors that
damage health
• Healthy choices must be easy and desirable
8. Social Justice and Health Disparities
• Health disparities are differences in the rate of
disease, incidence, prevalence, morbidity, mortality
or survival rates
• The root causes of disparities are inequalities
• U.S. history of discrimination has made race,
ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity
determinants in access to health care and in health
status
9. Promoting Social Justice
Reduces Health Disparities
• Food Stamps (1961)
• Civil Rights Act (1964)
• Voting Rights (1965)
• Desegregation of Medical Facilities (1963-1965)

future of public health and health disparities

disparities in infant mortality rates, low birthweight
babies, and breastfeeding
