measures in 2021.<br \/>The findings indicate that socioeconomic disparities exist across a substantial proportion of the measures, with a clear gradient showing poorer outcomes among populations of lower socioeconomic status. Widening disparities were observed in smoking rates, obesity among adolescents and men, diabetes prevalence, and rates of screening for early detection of breast cancer. A reduction in disparities was demonstrated in diabetes control rates and in screening rates for the early detection of colorectal cancer.   \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a class=\"elementor-price-list-item\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.israelhealthindicators.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/NPQICH_GapsExecutiveSummary_September12_2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-price-list-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-price-list-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-price-list-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload the Summary\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-price-list-separator\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-18efa18 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"18efa18\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1291293\" data-id=\"1291293\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publications &#8211; Health Disparities Reports Trends Over Time and Geographic Differences in Selected Health Indicators Starting in 2022, the Israel National Program for Quality Indicators in Community Healthcare has published a Health Disparities Report reflecting the national set of quality indicators.
