Abstract
This report provides Delaware policymakers with a series of approaches, or best practices, used
in other states to address minority health disparities. Since narrowing health disparities has
gained greater attention at the national, state, and local levels, this collection of policy options
should be considered a work-in-process. In developing this compendium, the research team had
the benefit of input and feedback from State of Delaware officials and representatives of the
Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League. Shortly after IPA began researching promising
practices, The Commonwealth Fund published a tremendously valuable 87-page report: A State
Policy Agenda to Eliminate Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities (June 2004).
