Abstract :
Health disparities are gap in health status driven by social inequities. The differences have affected how many people get sick or how often diseases cause death. In order to reduce the health disparities, many research projects have been led by National Institutes of Health. In this paper, we propose a user-centered query expansion model that assists the health disparity researches. The proposed model is tested on recent health disparities research documents.
