April is Minority Health Month

Medical advances have provided Americans with the potential for longer, healthier lives, but not all Americans are benefitting equally. FDA's Office of Minority Health collaborates with researchers to help improve health for all.

This Consumer Update on research collaborations is one of a series that highlights the work of FDA's Office of Minority Health. This office helps identify agency actions that can help reduce disparities in health and health care.

The other Consumer Updates focus on:

• the work being done to lessen health disparities,
• the importance of including minorities in clinical trials, and
• an interview with OMH Director Jonca Bull.
