Population(s) Experiencing the Disparity

According to Healthy People 2020, “Although the term disparities is often interpreted to mean racial or ethnic disparities, many dimensions of disparity exist in the United States, particularly in health. If a health outcome is seen to a greater or lesser extent between populations, there is disparity.” We are asking grantees to specify the population(s) experiencing the disparity within the context of your High-Need Community(ies) and subrecipients.

Grantees may describe the population(s) experiencing the disparity using a broad demographic or cultural category - or “subpopulation”. The DIS asks you to use publicly available data to identify subpopulations within your High-Need Communities. You may quantify subpopulations more specifically as a “disparate population” using data and a designated comparison group. For example, you may identify the subpopulations by “race” and the disparate population as “Black or African American”. However, just because you can separate out a subpopulation (e.g., age separated out by age ranges), does not mean you should identify it as disparate. You should only consider a population “disparate” if you identify a specific race, ethnicity, sex, or LGBTQ identity using a data-driven justification.

Select High-Need Community(ies)*

If all High-Need Communities focus on the same disparate and subpopulations, select "All High-Need Communities". If not, select "Specific High-Need Community" and choose the High-Need Community(ies) you wish to report on. You should only select more than one community under “Specific High-Need Community(ies) if the communities focus on the same disparate and subpopulations. If they don’t focus on the same disparate and subpopulations, please add an additional record.


No high-need communities found.

From the subpopulations below, please select the disparate population(s) on which this high-need community(ies) is focusing its efforts. For each selected disparate population, provide estimates for how many individuals the High-Need Community(ies) plans to directly serve and indirectly reach with its efforts per year.

NOTE: Please leave the fields blank if planned outreach is unknown.
NOTE: Please leave the fields blank if the estimates are not available.
