Barbara, the LACK of information extends across ALL the communities, I live a predominantly white community but I hadn't heard of this disease until earlier this year. Information just needs to be spread period, I can't see this being broken down into racial barriers. All races have access to the internet. As far as black people getting PCOS, I would say sure they can... you just need to have an endocrine system and the right hormones to get out of whack, so it seems like this should be a universal syndrome.
