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/.

Definitions:

NSD: Not sufficient data.

Serious Psychological Distress (SPD) is defined as having a score of 13 or higher on the K6 scale. These estimates are based on the 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 full adult samples, where the 2004 sample includes both short-form and adjusted long-form responses. Therefore these estimates are not comparable with SPD estimates published in prior NSDUH reports. See Section B.4.4 in Appendix B of the Results from the 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings.
