Why does Finding Answers only fund evaluation of interventions aimed at the treatment of cardiovascular disease, depression and diabetes?
Finding Answers is focusing on these diseases because research shows that racial and ethnic gaps in the treatment of these diseases are significant and the recommended standards of care are clear. Additionally, these diseases affect large numbers of patients, are related to serious health outcomes (like higher mortality rates), and often result in poor quality of life. Therefore, we hope that these evaluations will identify promising solutions that will inform current efforts to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in health care.
