Overall, our cohort was similar to previous trauma-driven racial disparity studies with regard to median age, gender, and incidence rate of SCI (NSCISC 2014).
Despite the difficulty in conducting disparity studies in racial and ethnic minorities, such studies are essential to ensure that people of all ethnic and racial backgrounds have the best chance possible of benefiting from HCT.
To advance the generalizability of racial disparity studies, further research is needed to assess the effect of those patient, physician, and system determinants as they relate to a patient's ability to access post-trauma rehabilitative care.
As part of UNICEF's Global Study on Child Poverty and Disparities, several countries in East Asia and the Pacific have undertaken national child poverty and disparity studies.
If so, like it would be the case of gender disparity studies, joint modelling may lead to improved inference by reducing the number of alternative explanations for the observed variability [ 14].
The SEER-NLMS record linkage study has enabled an evaluation of the quality of demographic data (e.g., race/ethnicity and place of birth) available from medical records and reported by SEER registries as compared with the self-reported data and its impact on health disparity studies [ 16].
Republic of Congo This Child Poverty and Disparities Study in the Republic of Congo, which complements an earlier World Bank study, analyzes multidimensional, non-monetary poverty, particularly access to basic social services for children and women.
Mali This Child Poverty and Disparities Study In Mali offers a unique opportunity to simultaneously combine several methods of measuring poverty to better understand the holistic dimensions of poverty.
