Summary:	Amid its growing diversity and shifting demographics, the U.S. is still home to glaring health inequities by race, ethnicity, and class. Yet while it is customary to identify poverty as their root cause, other complex mechanisms are involved in their perpetuation. Based on recent major studies on African-American, Latino, Asian-American, and Native American populations, "Health Disparities in Youth and Families" offers a thorough, nuanced examination of a wide range of causal - and protective - factors. Rigorous theories and models take into account cultural, contextual, and personal.
