NLM Releases Strategic Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health
Disparities, 2000-2005
Plan Supports NIH Mission, Emphasizes Research,
Outreach
NLM has released a new blueprint for reducing racial and ethnic
health disparities. The document, available from the NLM web site,
notes that NLM "now has the opportunity to provide
near-instantaneous reliable access to high quality health
information resources and content when and where they are needed for
research, education and patient care.
Among the many goals are to advance understanding of the
development and progression of disease that contributes to health
disparities, to support research training and career development,
and to communicate research-based information to increase public
awareness and/or change personal health habits.
The report can be downloaded at www.nlm.nih.gov/nn.html.
