April is National Minority Health Month, an observance that highlights the importance of improving the health of racial and ethnic minority and American Indian/Alaska Native communities and reducing health disparities. This year’s theme is “Better Health Through Better Understanding,” a goal that AHRQ supports through investments in research and resources that improve health literacy. Examples of agency resources that help achieve better outcomes for minority populations include the Spanish-language version of AHRQ’s QuestionBuilder app. The tool helps patients prepare and organize questions before medical appointments so they better understand their conditions and treatment options.
