Abstract

Ethnic minorities of color are disadvantaged on most indicators of health and wellness, yet, health services have not been adequately responsive to this group's needs. This paper explores the improvement of health services for this population by discussing common criteria for the assessment of responsiveness: availability, accessibility, and acceptability. Illustrative examples drawn from different ethnic minority groups will be utilized in the discussion of assessment criteria and ideas for cultural responsiveness highlighted.

摘要

有色人种少数民族在大多数健康和福祉指标上处于不利地位，然而，卫生服务尚未充分满足该群体的需求。本文通过讨论评估响应性的共同标准：可及性、可获得性和可接受性，探讨如何改善针对这一人群的卫生服务。在讨论评估标准时，将使用来自不同少数民族群体的实例，并突出文化响应性的理念。
