Assignment 4: Social variables and health outcomes
Due by 11:55pm ET the Sunday of Week 7
Overview
From a sociological viewpoint, the analysis of health outcomes
can be understood through a variety of social variables.
Throughout this semester, we have covered several of these,
including race, gender, and class in society. For sociologists,
these variables can be correlated very strongly with longevity
rates, propensities for certain types of disease, and overall rates
of mortality. In this final essay, you will describe the key
relationship between these social variables and health outcomes,
and also engage in your own independent research in which you
will come up with one meaningful example of a health issue that
is impacted by these variables. This paper will conclude with
your own policy opinions about what you think government can
do to reduce the impact of these social variables upon these
health concerns.
Instructions
Complete a 8-10 page final paper that satisfies the following
three areas:
Using several sociological concepts covered in our readings and
discussion, explain how sociologists view the relationship
between the key social variables of race, gender, class and
health. (For example, explain how the intersection of race,
class, and gender can help us predict health related outcomes.)
After engaging in your own independent research, citing a
minimum of three (3) peer-reviewed journal articles provide one
meaningful example of a health problem that is clearly impacted
by race, class, and gender.
Finally, detail a brief policy proposal in which you explain how
government intervention may reduce the impact of race, class,
and gender upon health outcomes in the United States.
The assignment should include a title page, abstract and/or table
of contents, body of paper, and a References page.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, arial or
times new roman 12 pt font, and saved as .doc. The paper
should be in APA format (cover page, running header, major
heading, subheadings, in-text citations, and reference list),
Please no plagerism
