Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
An overarching goal for HP 2020 directly applies to the issue of health disparity. The goal is to achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Gender, ethnicity or race, education or income, geographic location, or sexual preference may account for group differences that lead to marginalization and subsequent health inequities. The comprehensive report by the Institute of Medicine (2002) in its review of more than 100 studies found that minorities were less likely to obtain health care than were whites. The review also documented inequities related to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and mental illness.
