Understanding Health Disparities in Our Communities

Not everyone has the same chance at a healthy life. Factors like where you live, how much money your family makes, and even your race or gender can affect your health. For example, Black men in the U.S. live about 10 years less on average than White women. In this course, you’ll explore why these differences exist, learn how to spot health gaps in different communities, and dig into the real reasons behind them.
