| Annotation | The Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMARS) operate under the aegis of the US National Institute on Aging (NIA) to examine and redress disparities in health outcomes and delivery as they affect minority ethnic groups. These issues are discussed in guest editorials in this issue of the Journal of Mental Health and Aging, by authors connected with RCMARS. Special articles by other experts in the field cover the following themes: methodological issues in cross-cultural assessment; acculturation, ethnic identity, socioeconomic status and social support; cognitive function measures and cross-cultural variation; measurement of health, mental health and quality of life; and religiosity and ethnicity.
