title: Foreword.
abstract: Reducing health disparities is a major goal of public health. Despite the persistence of disparities, progress is being made. Since 2011, CDC Health Disparities and Inequalities Reports and the inaugural Strategies for Reducing Health Disparities report have highlighted effective public health programs that have demonstrably reduced disparities. The reports in this supplement add to this record of progress.
