Abstract:
Proximal, intermediate, and distal social determinants of health inform the health of populations. Differences in rheumatoid arthritis outcomes between populations reflect inequities in these determinants. However, health service access, medication availability, and high-quality care interactions can be ensured through health system restructuring and innovations in individual-level care provision. This article summarizes disparities in rheumatoid arthritis care that have been recognized and described in the United States and Canada and proposes models of care and treatment approaches that can support better outcomes for population groups at risk for outcome inequities.
