The document discusses racial and ethnic health disparities in the United States. It states that health inequities exist between racial and ethnic groups due to social determinants like poverty and low socioeconomic status. Minority groups are more likely to lack health insurance and access to healthcare, and often receive poorer quality care. Specific health issues that disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities include higher rates of influenza hospitalization, asthma deaths in children, and diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Addressing these disparities will require a more diverse healthcare workforce that is culturally competent to serve an increasingly diverse population.

among racial and ethnic populations. health disparities as discussed in the report, are
differences in health outcomes that are closely linked with social, economic and
environmental disadvantage, which are often driven by the social conditions in Which
individuals live in, learn, work, and play. Mart differences in social determinants, such as
poverty, low social economic status (SES), and lack of access to care, exist along racial ethnic
lines, lean into poor health outcomes. The economic burden between 2003 and 2006
alterable to health disparities was estimated to be 1.24 trillion. The major dimensions of
racial ethnic health disparities outlined are the following:· lack of insurance negatively
affect the quality of health care received by minorities. 1/3 of the population consists of
racial and ethnic minorities but constitutes more than half of the 50,000,000 individuals
without health insurance.· minorities are overrepresented among the 56,000,000 people
in America who have inadequate access to primary care physician minority children I left
likely than non Hispanic white children to have a usual source of care.· Ratio and ethnic
minorities often receive poorer quality of care an face more barriers and seeking care,
including preventative care, acute treatment, or chronic disease management, than non
Hispanic whites· ask Americans have higher hospitalization rates from influenza than
other populations in African American children are more then 4 times as likely to die from
Asthma as non Hispanic white children. Higher obesity rates and African American
population contribute to the onset of diabetes hypertension and cardiovascular diseaseas
the demographics of the United States continued become more diverse, nurses need to be
culturally competent as one strategy for eliminating racial and ethnic disparities. In 2004,
the IOM report title and the nations compelling interest: “Ensuring Diversity in Health Care
Workforce”, Diversity in the workforce with a key element of patient center care. Efforts in
mash the ethnic and racial composition of the health care workforce with the US population
would contribute to addressing health disparities. Providers who speak a second language
will also be needed because 24,000,000 adults have limited English proficiency. Shortages
of primary care providers in underserved areas significantly affect the health of ethnic and

research and report on stakeholder positions on reducing racial and ethnic health
disparities. The stakeholders I would like you to focus on are USDHHS (U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services), Healthy People 2020, WHO, and the CDC, though others are also
encouraged. Articulate the responsibilities, goals, and objectives of these key public
stakeholders in regards to health disparities. Describe how knowledge, skill, attitude,
socioeconomic environment, and culture affect health disparities. (3-4 pages) All written
