Figure Q. Gonorrhea — Rate ratios* by race/ethnicity: United States, 1998–2007

* Rate ratios are calculated as the gonorrhea rate per 100,000 population for a given racial or ethnic minority population divided by the gonorrhea rate per 100,000 population for non-Hispanic whites. Any population with a lower rate of gonorrhea than the non-Hispanic white population will have a rate ratio less than 1:1.
† Y-axis is log scale.
