MINORITIES
HIT HARD BY COMMONLY REPORTED DISEASE
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – During
April, Minority Health Month and STD Awareness Month, the Illinois
Department of Public Health (IDPH) is teaming up with numerous
organizations to address health disparities in Illinois, especially
the disproportionate number of minorities impacted by sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs). These diseases continue to be the most
commonly reported infectious diseases in the United States according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The
Department is helping to sponsor minority health education and
screening events across Illinois during April, many of which focus
on STD education and awareness.
