The Health Resources and Services Administration diversity data collection.

The Health Resources and Services Administration diversity data collection. Public Health Rep. 2014 Jan-Feb;129 Suppl 2:51-6 Authors: White KM, Zangaro G, Kepley HO, Camacho A Abstract The Health Resources and Services Administration maintains a strong emphasis on increasing the diversity of the health-care workforce through its grant programs. Increasing the diversity of the workforce is important for reducing health disparities in the population caused by socioeconomic, geographic, and race/ethnicity factors because evidence suggests that minority health professionals are more likely to serve in areas with a high proportion of underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups. The data show success in increasing the diversity of enrollees in five nursing programs. PMID: 24385665 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
