Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Racial and ethnic minority populations in the state, who would potentially benefit from improved health policies and programs
- State policymakers and agencies, who would receive guidance and recommendations from the advisory team
- The general public, as the team's work could lead to better health outcomes and reduced disparities
