Abstract / Description: 

While it is known that sex and race/ethnic disparities persist for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), disparities in risk factor control have not been well-described in primary care where ASCVD can be prevented. 

Disparities in controlling ASCVD risk factors in primary care persist and were not fully explained by demographic or clinical characteristics. Monitoring changes in disparities is important to ensure equity as interventions to prevent ASCVD in primary care are developed and implemented.
