Abstract

The papers featured in this issue of the Health Care Financing Review were presented at "Eliminating Racial, Ethnic, and SES Disparities in Health Care: A Research Agenda for the New Millennium." This conference was held on October 15, 1999, in the Washington, DC., area and was co-sponsored by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (formerly the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research), and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. The conference was undertaken in response to the challenge posed by President Clinton's national goal of eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in six health domains by the year 2010.
