Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Health disparities may be unavoidable, such as health-damaging behaviors that are chosen by an individual despite health education and counseling efforts but most are thought to be due to inequities than can be corrected. Reported disparities exist in the areas of quality of health care, access to care, levels and types of care, and care settings; they exist within subpopulations (e.g., older adults, women, children, rural residents, disabled) and across clinical conditions. Clients can also react to providers in a way that promotes disparities; they may not trust the information given to them and may not follow it as explained, leading to inadequate care.
