Notes:

Data are for women ages 18–64.

All Minority women includes Black, Hispanic, Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native women, and women of two or more races.

Disparity score greater than 1.00 indicates that minority women are doing worse than White women. Disparity score less than 1.00 indicates that minority women are doing better than White women. Disparity score equal to 1.00 indicates that minority and White women are doing the same.

Data are derived from the Kaiser Family Foundation report, Putting Women’s Health Care Disparities on the Map, available at: http://www.kff.org/womensdisparities/.
