abstract: 'Background: Health disparities, defined as a significant difference in
|
|
|
|
health between populations, are more common for diseases of the
|
|
|
|
respiratory system than for those of other organ systems, because of the
|
|
|
|
environmental influence on breathing and the variation of the
|
|
|
|
environment among different segments of the population. The lowest
|
|
|
|
social groups are up to 14 times more likely to have respiratory
|
|
|
|
diseases than are the highest. Tobacco smoke, air pollution,
|
|
|
|
environmental exposures, and occupational hazards affect the lungs more
|
|
|
|
than other organs, and occur disproportionately in ethnic minorities and
|
|
|
|
those with lower socioeconomic status. Lack of access to quality health
|
|
|
|
care contributes to disparities.
|
|
|
|
Methods: The executive committees of the American Thoracic Society (ATS)
|
|
|
|
and European Respiratory Society (ERS) established a writing committee
|
|
|
|
to develop a policy on health disparities. The document was reviewed,
|
|
|
|
edited, and approved by the full executive committees and boards of
|
|
|
|
directors of the societies.
|
|
|
|
Results: This document expresses a policy to address health disparities
|
|
|
|
by promoting scientific inquiry and training, disseminating medical
|
|
|
|
information and best practices, and monitoring and advocating for public
|
|
|
|
respiratory health. ERS and ATS have strong international commitments,
|
|
|
|
and work with leaders from governments,academia, and organizations to
|
|
|
|
address and reduce avoidable health inequalities. Their training
|
|
|
|
initiatives improve the function of health care systems and health
|
|
|
|
equality. Both the ATS and ERS support all aspects of this document,
|
|
|
|
confer regularly, and act together when possible, but the activities to
|
|
|
|
bring about change may vary because of the differences in the continents
|
|
|
|
where the two organizations carry out most of their activities.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: The ATS and ERS pledge to frame their actions to reduce
|
|
|
|
respiratory health disparities. The vision of the ATS and ERS is that
|
|
|
|
all persons attain better and sustained respiratory health. They call on
|
|
|
|
all their members and other societies to join in this commitment.'
