Comparing Low-Income Disparities in Chronic Disease Health Education Between China and United States
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Chronic disease management remains a significant public health challenge, with both China and the United States facing distinct challenges in delivering health education to low-income populations. This comparative analysis examines how these two different healthcare systems address health education disparities, focusing on institutional structures, delivery mechanisms, and accessibility. Through systematic review of previous research and policy documents from both countries, we analyze the strengths and limitations of each system's approach to chronic disease education. Our findings reveal that while each country has developed unique solutions - with China's extensive rural healthcare network and the US's community health center system - both face persistent challenges in reaching vulnerable populations. This analysis provides insights into how different healthcare systems address similar challenges in chronic disease education, contributing to the global dialogue on reducing health disparities.
