Abstract
Socioeconomic status (SES) is consistently among the most fundamental determinants of health status.1,2 Much of this SES relationship can be attributed to cardiovascular disease (CVD)2-4 and the combined effects of disparities in health-related behaviors, environmental conditions, social structures, and the contact and delivery of health care.2,5 Because these factors are modifiable, reducing disparities by 2010 is a priority of US public health efforts.6Keywords
