Reports
The purpose of this report (formerly the Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities Report) is to identify important health disparities in New Mexico so that diverse organizations and agencies, including the Department of Health, can design and implement evidence-based interventions to improve health equity.
This report reflects the work of the Act Early State Team members, who met over five 3-hour sessions between 2016-2018 to compile a list for families of culturally-relevant, positively-oriented, ways to engage/inform about existing services, and resources using the human-resource design.
Sexual and gender minority populations, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, experience disparities in physical and mental health, as well as access to and use of health services. This report explores existing disparities and suggests steps to improve the health of New Mexico’s SGM citizens.
