UK Gov't POSTnote on ethnicity and health

This POSTnote from the UK Gov't Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology reviews the evidence on ethnic health inequalities, the causes and policy options. As the abstract states "Black and minority ethnic (BME) groups generally have worse health than the overall population, although some BME groups fare much worse than others, and patterns vary from one health condition to the next. Evidence suggests that the poorer socio-economic position of BME groups is the main factor driving ethnic health inequalities."
