Health equity is attained when everyone has the opportunity achieve the health they envision; however, health disparities are a barrier to health equity. As health disparities specific to urogynecology exist, it is critical to examine and contextualize them in a framework that improves understanding of what factors may drive these disparities to craft effective solutions. This article will review what we currently know about urinary incontinence disparities and provide a framework for evaluation as well as a framework for advancing health equity in the care of diverse patient populations with urinary incontinence.
健康公平是指每个人都有机会实现自己期望的健康，但健康差异是实现健康公平的障碍。由于尿失禁领域存在特定的健康差异，因此必须在一个框架内对其进行检查和分析，以加深对可能导致这些差异的因素的理解，从而制定有效的解决方案。本文将回顾我们目前对尿失禁差异的了解，并提供一个评估框架以及一个在护理不同尿失禁患者群体方面推进健康公平的框架。
