  Policy factors

Legislation that leads to health and health care disparities, primarily through resource allocation. For example, a county that provides flu shots or childhood immunizations for free or at reduced cost will most likely have fewer cases of influenza than a county that does not provide these services. In another example, the policy decision on the part of the Veterans Administration to provide transportation to and from health care centers will minimize health and health care disparities among veterans.
