have high school diplomas. Studies on heart disease mortality have found that gaps between Black and White Americans exist at every education level. A longitudinal study over more than twenty years found that Black physicians had higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease, earlier onset of disease, twice the incidence of hypertension, and higher prevalence of diabetes compared to White physicians. For maternal mortality, Black women who are college graduates have pregnancy-related mortality ratios (number of pregnancy-related deaths for every 100,000 live births) that are 1.6 times greater than White women who had not finished high school. Black women have higher maternity mortalilty rates than white women regardless of socioeconomic status and pre-existing health conditions. According to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, a data analysis was performed using The Behavioral Risk Factor System survey to examining the perceptions of racial privilege in healthcare among different races. These results showed that whites with a higher income and an educational background had an increase perception in receiving medical treatment and a decrease in discrimination. Oppose to blacks the perceptions were the complete opposite compared to whites. Several studies suggest that race is a positive association with socioeconomic (SES) and education when providing health services. Currently, there are future research being conducted to understand the concept behind racial privileges in the healthcare. Specific diseases Health disparities are well documented in minority populations such as African Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos. In the year 1985, a report, known as the Heckler Report, was released to address the state of concern regarding African American and minority populations. This report sought to look at statistical data that showed its prevalence and the action towards bridging this health equity gap. The report identified six areas of health concern: cancer, cardiovascular disease and stroke, chemical dependency related to cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, homicides and accidents, and infant mortality. When compared to European Americans and Asian Americans, these minority groups have higher incidence of chronic diseases, higher mortality, and poorer health outcomes. More importantly noted are the number of lives that could have been saved if healthcare were the same between both populations. That is, African Americans and minority populations having access to healthcare that meets their needs and seek to address this much needed change. Minorities often have higher rates of cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, and infant mortality than whites. U.S. ethnic groups can exhibit substantial average differences in
