Abstract
New York State’s population has become increasingly diverse due, in large part, to a growing foreign-born population. In order to improve the health of all New Yorkers and to address health disparities in the population, it is critical that there be a base of knowledge and understanding of the variations in health measures that cross racial, ethnic and income groups. This Minority Health Surveillance Report (MHSR), which presents data on a wide variety of health indicators in New York State, serves as an important resource for identifying and addressing health disparities.
