This has been an ambitious undertaking, but there has been considerable progress. . African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected. The signifi cant gender and racial gaps for African American men are likely to persist. [PLoS Medicine special collection on Social Medicine. Essay]
