According to the Minnesota Department of Health: Infant mortality rates among the American Indians and African Americans are two to three times higher than for the state as a whole; Among African American youth aged 15-24, firearm injury mortality rates are 15 times greater than the rates of all ages, races, and genders combined; Women from minority communities are less likely to receive sufficient prenatal care compared to other women; Death rates for African Americans and American Indians are two to three times that of the state as a whole. Rates of diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and HIV/AIDS are higher for many minority communities compared to the state as a whole.
