Why do health disparities exist?

I found a graphic created by the Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion Collaborations (CHERP) that captures at least 6 factors that explain why health disparities exist.

 

They are as follows:

  1. Individual
  2. Environmental
  3. Social
  4. Provider
  5. System
  6. Policy

We need to expand upon charts like this to provide as much detail and clarity as possible. I welcome your comments and ideas!
