Differences in Geographic Patterns of Absolute and Relative Black–White Disparities in Stroke Mortality in the United States

[...]we calculated race-specific stroke death rates in 2019 for adults aged 35 to 64 years and mapped the geographic variation of the largest absolute and relative Black–White disparities in stroke death rates (Map A) and of the highest stroke death rates for Black populations and White populations...

Description
Summary:[...]we calculated race-specific stroke death rates in 2019 for adults aged 35 to 64 years and mapped the geographic variation of the largest absolute and relative Black–White disparities in stroke death rates (Map A) and of the highest stroke death rates for Black populations and White populations (Map B). [...]programs and policies that focus on areas with large disparities in both relative and absolute terms will reach a smaller, albeit important, subset of counties. Aspen Flynn, MPH1; Adam S.
