African American health

African American health means how healthy African Americans are. It includes both physical health (diseases and illnesses) and mental health (feeling sad, overwhelmed, having depression or anxiety). African Americans have worse health than other Americans in many ways. For example, more African Americans get diseases like cancer and diabetes, and African Americans are more likely to die from those diseases. African Americans also have higher rates of depression and anxiety than other Americans. To help improve African American health, it’s important to have good health care and access to healthy foods, like fruits and vegetables. It’s also important to have good mental health care and support, so people can talk to someone if they need help. Finally, it’s important to have better education and job opportunities, so African Americans can have better lives.
