Despite progress, ethnic health disparities persist in ... - Star Tribune Despite progress, ethnic health disparities persist in Minnesota. Hispanics, Indians, Somali natives still trail in screenings such as colonoscopies. By Jeremy Olson Star Tribune. January 11, 2018
state’s fourth annual health equity report, released Thursday by Minnesota Community Measurement, showed that, overall, 73 percent of adults ages 51 to 75 were up to date with colon cancer screening last year. But that rate dropped to 60 percent of Hispanics, 55 percent of American Indians and 27 percent of Somali natives.
The screening is one of eight measures

Racial and ethnic categories: Across clinical quality measures and state regions, White and Asian patients generally had higher rates than other racial groups. Also across measures and geographic areas, American Indian or Alaska Native and Black or African American patients generally, had the lowest rates both statewide and regionally. Similarly, Hispanics generally had poorer health care outcomes than non-Hispanics across all quality measures and most geographic regions.
• Country of origin and language categories: Patients born in Asian countries tend to have better outcomes across multiple quality measures and geographic regions than patients born in other countries. Patients born in Laos, Somalia and Mexico generally had poorer outcomes than other groups. Similarly, patients who preferred speaking Hmong, Somali and Spanish generally had lower rates compared to other preferred language groups
Executive Summary
Themes by Racial and Hispanic Ethnicity Categories
Table A: Summary of Findings by Race
Patients in the White racial group generally had better health care outcomes across most measures and most geographic
areas. This is consistent with findings from our 2014 and 2015 reports. White patients had rates above the statewide
average on all seven quality measures; notably, this was the only racial group to have a Colorectal Cancer Screening
rate above the statewide average. The poorest health outcomes for White patients were concentrated primarily in the
Northwest and Northeast regions; the best outcomes were generally in the East Metro and West Metro regions.
Asian patients had the highest rates of optimal care in four of the seven quality measures (Optimal Diabetes
Care; Optimal Vascular Care; Adolescent Mental Health and/or Depression Screening; Optimal Asthma Control –
Children). The measures where Asian patients had rates below the statewide average was Overweight Counseling
and Colorectal Cancer Screening. It’s also notable that variation in rates for Asian patients across all five measures
can be seen by region. This mirrors the results of this racial group in 2014 and 2015.
The Black or African American racial group did not have the highest rate for any quality measure. They had the
lowest rate for the Optimal Vascular Care measure. This racial group also had rates below the statewide average
across the board. This is similar to the results for this racial group in 2014 and 2015. Additionally, significant regional
disparities can be seen for Black or African American patients. Most notably, the lowest or near lowest rates for this
racial group were often found in the Northeast and Northwest regions; whereas, the highest rates were often seen in
the East Metro region.
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander patients had a mix of high and low rates. The quality measures where this
racial group was lower than the statewide average were Adolescent Mental Health and/or Depression Screening and
Colorectal Cancer Screening. Additionally, there were enough Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander patients to
be reportable in some regions for five measures this year. In 2014, we were unable to report any regional results for
this patient population and in 2015 there were enough patients to be reportable for only two measures. As with the
statewide results, this racial group tended to have average results.
Patients in the American Indian or Alaska Native racial group had outcomes below the statewide average for six of the
seven quality measures. This is similar to what was seen in 2014 and 2015. Notably, these patients had particularly poor
outcomes in Optimal Diabetes Care. This racial group had the lowest statewide rate as well as the lowest rate in eight of
nine regions of Minnesota for Optimal Diabetes Care. Interestingly, the American Indian or Alaska Native racial group was
the only group to have no improvement in their Colorectal Cancer Screening rate since the first report in 2014.
