BLACK HEALTH MATTERS
Santa Cruz, Calif. – United Way and Applied Survey Research (ASR), together with the NAACP, Black Health Matters and the Santa Cruz County Black Coalition for Justice and Racial Equity Advisors, have just released a data snapshot addressing the health of Black/African American people in Santa Cruz County. “Making the Invisible Visible” includes local data that builds on the Community Assessment Project and shares data on the social determinants of health impacting this historically underserved population. These include economic stability; education; health and health care; neighborhood and the built environment; and social and community context. The data for local Black/African American residents are compared with that of the county’s Hispanic/Latino and White residents.
