RACIAL AND ETHNIC APPROACHES TO COMMUNITY HEALTH (REACH)
Description:
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) 2010 is the cornerstone of CDC's efforts to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in health. Launched in 1999, REACH 2010 is designed to eliminate disparities in the following six priority areas: cardiovascular disease, immunizations, breast and cervical cancer screening and management, diabetes, HIV infections/AIDS, and infant mortality. The racial and ethnic groups targeted by REACH 2010 are African Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Pacific Islanders. REACH 2010 is a two-phase, 5-year demonstration project that supports community coalitions in designing, implementing, and evaluating community driven strategies to eliminate health disparities.
