Abstract
Comparatively little disparities research to date has focused on emergency medicine. However, the body of disparities research developed in other areas of health care has identified a number of issues that are directly applicable. To promote research on disparities in emergency medicine, this article addresses several of these issues related to collecting and classifying data on race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status and selected methodologic issues that are particularly important for evaluating disparities.
