Contribution of Individual and Neighborhood Factors to Racial Disparities in Respiratory Outcomes.

Strategies to narrow the gap in SES disadvantages may help to reduce race-related health disparities in COPD; however, further work is needed to identify additional risk factors contributing to persistent disparities.
