Finding Answers Intervention Research (FAIR) Database
The FAIR Database contains 206 journal article summaries from a systematic review of racial and ethnic health disparities interventions. Diseases examined in this database were chosen because they have a known high prevalence, cause significant morbidity and mortality, have clear standards of care, and have large documented disparities in care. Diseases outside the scope of the supplement (e.g., HIV/AIDS, asthma) are not included in this database. The FAIR Database is searchable by health topic, racial/ethnic population, organizational setting, and intervention strategy and will provide a customized list of interventions based on the categories selected.
