Goal: To provide a foundation to better understand health disparities with an emphasis on health equity within the context of behavioral health.

• explore disparities with the context of behavioral health using Rhode Island and National data to provide context in understanding these disparities;
• apply various frameworks - including social determinants, life course (life span or stages), and CDC's health equity pyramid - to better understand behavioral health disparities; and,
• examine approaches to address disparities in creating health equity.
