title: A Health Literacy Program Using Family Health History for Young Black Rural Students: Implications for Reducing Health Disparities.
abstract: This report from the field introduces use of the U.S. Surgeon General's Family Health Portrait in an African American rural middle school population in Alabama. It is believed that use of this online tool in this population could serve as a model for addressing chronic health disparities between African Americans and Whites at an earlier age.
