(HEPE) Introduction To Health Disparities 1
Many youth leaders are compelled to do work with community based non-profit and local public health agencies as both a service learning and philanthropic component in their development as young professionals. However, despite invaluable experiential learning, students often don\'t comprehend key overarching issues such as health disparities, social determinants of health, health policy and community organizing. To address this gap and optimize their community based work, the Health Disparities Student Collaborative (HDSC), a Boston-based student group under Critical MASS for eliminating health disparities and the Center for Community Health Education Research and Service Inc. (CCHERS), developed a curriculum for students designed to broaden their perspectives while working with local public health, non-profit/community organizations and to develop their interest and ability to visualize the power of their collective voice as students and contributors to social justice work. The curriculum utilizes peer education and webinar software and covers three main topics: Current State of Health Disparities, Social Determinants of Health, and Youth Activism on Health Disparities/Social Determinants of Health. HDSC has collaborated with local partners CCHERS/Critical MASS and the Community Based Public Health Caucus (CBPHC) Youth Council to develop this comprehensive “Health Equality Peer Education” training.

Health Disparities in the United States
This document discusses health disparities in the United States. It defines health disparity as differences in health outcomes and their determinants between population segments based on social, demographic, and other attributes. Factors like education, income, race, and location impact people's health, with those of lower socioeconomic status and minorities experiencing more adverse health outcomes. To address disparities, the root social and economic causes must be eliminated through efforts like improving access to care and healthcare quality regardless of personal attributes. Achieving health equity remains an ongoing challenge.
Health disparity final
The document discusses health disparities between African Americans and other races in Massachusetts, specifically looking at infant mortality rates. It finds that the infant mortality rate is significantly higher among African Americans compared to other races in both Massachusetts overall and the city of Worcester specifically. Some of the key factors identified as contributing to the higher rate among African Americans include lower rates of early prenatal care, higher rates of low birthweight babies and maternal complications, and social determinants like nutrition deficiencies and lack of social support. The Worcester Healthy Start Initiative program is highlighted as aiming to address some of these issues and reduce health disparities in the community.
stratification and health
1) Key determinants of health include income, social status, social support networks, education, employment, physical and social environments, genetics, personal health practices, child development, and access to health services.
2) Low income can negatively impact health in several ways such as limiting ability to access shelter, food, and participate in society which can cause stress; lower socioeconomic status at both the individual and societal level is linked to poorer health.
3) Within Canada, those living in the poorest neighborhoods face higher risks of death from diseases like cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses compared to more affluent areas. Infant mortality is also higher in low-income urban neighborhoods.
Research methods final project
- The document discusses a research project examining factors that influence poverty rates in America, specifically looking at incarceration, health, income, and race.
- The researchers hypothesized that ethnic minorities with low incomes who are incarcerated are more likely to experience poverty due to barriers to employment and healthcare access after prison.
- Analysis of 2012 GSS survey data found those with criminal records were more likely to come from low-income backgrounds, supporting the hypothesis. However, relationships between other variables like health were less clear. Overall, the findings confirm race and income influence recidivism and perpetuation of poverty.
Inequality In Health Care
1) The document discusses issues of inequality, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare that disproportionately impact women. It notes that as poverty rises, so does the population in need of reproductive healthcare assistance, while public support is decreasing.
2) Income inequality is linked to poorer health outcomes, as the gap between rich and poor grows, the well-off are less willing to pay taxes to fund public services. Job status also correlates with health, with lower levels reporting more stress.
3) Women face discrimination in healthcare costs and coverage. They may be denied insurance or charged higher premiums based on gender or experiences like domestic violence. Single and minority women have less access and higher rates of poverty and uninsured.
2015 Kelly Report
The report examines persistent health disparities between racial/ethnic minorities and whites in the US. It finds that minorities face higher rates of diseases like HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. The life expectancy gap between African Americans and whites remains large due to higher death rates from conditions like heart disease and cancer in the black population. While the Affordable Care Act has helped, more coordinated action is needed from public health, legislative, and scientific communities to address health inequality. The report focuses on disparities in several health areas for minorities and recommends action in access to care, workforce diversity, innovation/research, community engagement, and federal policy to achieve health equity.

Vulnerable population
This document discusses the vulnerable homeless population and their health concerns. It defines four categories of homelessness and estimates that over 1.5 million people are homeless in the US. The homeless have less access to healthcare and are more likely to experience health issues like substance abuse, malnutrition, hypertension, and frostbite/hypothermia. The demographics of the homeless population are also described, with most being adult males between 31-61 years old. The document calls for improvements like more affordable housing, jobs, healthcare access, and counseling services to help address the needs of this vulnerable group.

The document discusses the impact of poverty on health. It provides background on poverty and health indicators in Canada, showing that those in poverty experience higher rates of chronic disease, infant mortality, lower life expectancy, and worse mental and physical health overall. It suggests that poverty, through factors like inadequate income for nutrition and housing, is the main determinant of these health inequities. The document proposes ways for health providers to help address poverty, such as by expanding assessments of social/economic barriers patients face and connecting them to resources to improve their situations.
Fielding deterhlth
This document discusses the determinants of health and summarizes key concepts:
1. Health is determined by a variety of factors including genetics, individual behaviors, social and physical environments, and access to healthcare.
2. Chronic diseases have become a major health issue as communicable diseases have declined due to factors like improved sanitation and vaccines.
3. Health outcomes are influenced across the lifespan by characteristics like socioeconomic status, education, neighborhood conditions, and social support networks. Understanding these determinants is important for improving population health.

Causes and solutions to poverty
This document discusses the causes and effects of poverty. It identifies overpopulation, lack of resources like food and water, and illiteracy as causes of poverty. The effects of poverty include hunger, homelessness, health problems, and lack of basic needs. The document suggests ways to reduce poverty such as providing charity, basic necessities, education, healthcare, and job opportunities. It also notes that poverty levels have been increasing over the years.
Vulnerable Population
The document discusses immigrants as a vulnerable population in the United States. It defines immigrants as legal alien residents who have petitioned for permission to enter the country and seek naturalization. Immigrants face challenges related to differences in culture, healthcare access, and fear of deportation for illegal immigrants. Federal laws like the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 govern immigration and the process for gaining citizenship. As advocates, community health nurses should provide care that is sensitive to patients' cultural views and help address issues like language barriers, abuse/neglect, and stress-related disorders.
Capstone paper
This document discusses Pinellas County, Florida. It provides background on when the county was founded and describes its population growth over time. The document then analyzes strengths and weaknesses in Pinellas County's health based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Healthy People 2020 objectives. Specifically, the document finds strengths in access to healthcare, preventative vaccines, and oral health but weaknesses in nutritional health, cholesterol awareness, and rates of cardiovascular disease. The focus then narrows to reducing cerebrovascular and cardiovascular emboli through prevention strategies.
Community Health Capstone Paper
Burnett County, Wisconsin faces several public health challenges including high rates of poverty, unemployment, and lack of access to healthcare. To address these issues, stakeholders have implemented the Healthy Burnett initiative as part of the state's Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 plan. This paper analyzes epidemiological data on Burnett County's demographics, economy, and health outcomes to identify priority areas for public health interventions. The data shows high rates of poverty, low educational attainment, and mental health issues. As a result, the county's public health programs focus on decreasing stigma and improving access to mental healthcare through initiatives targeting individuals, communities, and systems.
The Health of the African American Community in the District of Columbia
This document provides a summary of a report on health disparities faced by the African American community in Washington D.C. It finds that while overall health outcomes have improved, African Americans have lower life expectancy and higher rates of chronic diseases and homicides compared to other racial groups. Social factors like poverty, education levels and housing costs negatively impact the health of long-time Black residents. The report provides recommendations to address systemic inequities and promote health equity in D.C.
PEL_Report_7.11.12
This document summarizes the economic security challenges facing West Virginia's growing elderly population. It finds that West Virginia has the second highest percentage of residents over age 65 in the country, and that this population is projected to increase rapidly as baby boomers retire. This aging population will put greater demands on state programs and services while potentially reducing tax revenue. The document also reports that West Virginia's elderly population has higher rates of poverty, disability, and poor health than national averages, and many rely solely on Social Security for income. It concludes that alternative measures beyond the federal poverty level are needed to fully understand economic insecurity among West Virginia's seniors.
poverty
This document discusses the causes of poverty in Pakistan. It identifies several key causes, including unemployment, inflation, corruption, poor governance, overpopulation, a backward agricultural system, and child labor. Unemployment is a major issue, with over 30 million unemployed, and inflation is also a problem as prices have risen significantly. Corruption and unequal distribution of resources also contribute to poverty. Poor governance, law and order issues, a lack of education, and other factors perpetuate poverty in Pakistan.

Population and poverty
Poverty has many contributing factors beyond just population growth. While population growth exacerbates poverty, other issues like income inequality, weak economic growth, and high fertility rates, especially among the poor, also contribute. An adequately funded family planning program that provides access to contraception could help address these issues and reduce poverty in a way that benefits women, families, and society.

The document provides background information about McAllen, Texas including its history, demographics, education and income levels, health statistics, and causes of mortality and morbidity. It then outlines The McAllen Health Project initiative which aims to educate the population on malnutrition and its health effects through various community outreach activities and the development of individualized wellness plans. Data is presented to justify the need for the initiative given McAllen's high rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
poverty-health-nl
This document discusses the relationship between poverty and health. It states that poverty and ill health are inextricably linked, as they cause and exacerbate each other. Being poor makes people more susceptible to illness due to lack of nutritious food, clean water, and medical care, pushing them further into poverty. It also notes that poverty increases the risk of disability, as those living in poverty are less likely to receive treatment and more likely to experience barriers. Specific examples discussed include the links between poverty and HIV/AIDS, as poverty increases vulnerability and children resort to risky behaviors. The document advocates for addressing both poverty and health issues together to break this cycle.
Color Of Cuts
This document discusses the disproportionate impact of budget cuts in Washington State on communities of color. It notes that people of color make up nearly 1 in 5 residents of Washington State currently, and this proportion is expected to grow. Despite their growing numbers, communities of color in Washington face significant racial disparities in areas like homeownership, poverty, education, employment, and health. The state faced a $12 billion budget shortfall in 2009-2011, which led to cuts that impacted vulnerable communities. The projected shortfall for 2011-2013 is $4.6 billion, and further cuts are anticipated that will likely devastate communities of color. The document examines how recent supplemental budget cuts have disproportionately affected people of color and what further impacts
Dr. David Williams at Belmont University
Racial disparities in health persist despite advances in medicine and technology. Minorities experience higher rates of illness and death than whites across many health conditions. Socioeconomic status, which is strongly linked to race, is a major determinant of health. Improving living conditions, education levels, income, and neighborhoods could help reduce health inequalities by making healthy choices easier and alleviating stress. Comprehensive social and economic policies are needed across all sectors to address fundamental causes of poor health and disparities.
Burtonsville, md
The document summarizes a presentation for the Montgomery County Health Department on the health needs of Burtonsville, MD. Three main health needs were identified: 1) lack of health insurance affecting 11.9% of residents, 2) poor air quality from ground-level ozone increasing chronic lung disease risks, and 3) young, black, and Hispanic mothers experiencing late or no prenatal care increasing risks of low birthweight infants. Recommendations include programs to enroll uninsured residents in health insurance, educate residents on air quality risks and prenatal care importance, and improve access to care.
Poverty and its types
This document discusses poverty and its types. It defines absolute poverty as a severe deprivation of basic human needs including food, water, shelter, and access to education. Absolute poverty is measured as living on less than $1.90 per day. Relative poverty is defined as a lack of resources compared to other members of a society and differs across countries and over time. The document provides statistics on the number of people living in poverty globally and describes the two major types of poverty as absolute and relative.
Sample Literature Review
The document discusses the history of racial theory and multiculturalism. It outlines Omi and Winant tracing categories of race such as ethnicity, class, and nation. They analyze each paradigm but conclude that no single one can fully explain issues on its own. They must be understood together and in relation to other cultural theories. Giroux also discusses using overlapping theories to develop an anti-racist pedagogy, showing how ideas from class discussions can apply in new contexts. Multiculturalism requires considering multiple perspectives and theoretical frameworks to fully understand culture.

This document summarizes research on theories of ethnicity and race and perspectives on inequalities based on ethnicity and race. It discusses three main theoretical approaches to understanding ethnicity and race: primordialist theories which see ethnic identity as fixed at birth, instrumental theories which view ethnicity as something that can be manipulated for political or economic ends, and constructivist theories which see ethnic identity as fluid and constructed in social contexts. It also examines functionalist and conflict perspectives on inequalities, with functionalism focusing on assimilation and pluralism, and conflict theory emphasizing how dominant groups use power to divide groups along racial and ethnic lines for their own benefit.

This study examined how racial residential segregation may influence racial disparities in prostate cancer treatment. Using data on over 53,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer, the researchers found that higher segregation was associated with increased disparities in radiation treatment but decreased disparities in prostatectomy. The study suggests residential segregation places constraints on treatment choices that differently impact racial groups.The role of informatics in decreasing health care
Informatics can help reduce health care disparities in 3 key ways:
1) It improves access to health information by making data easily accessible across different facilities through electronic health records and personal health records.
2) It enhances communication and information sharing between providers and consumers from various backgrounds, eliminating barriers.
3) When applied in clinical, administrative, and consumer settings through applications like computerized monitoring and ordering systems, informatics can improve quality of care, education resources, and health outcomes, ultimately helping achieve health equity goals.

HCS 400 Systems and Policies Minorities Receive lower-quality healthcare
The literature review examines research showing that minority patients receive lower quality healthcare than white patients. Several studies found that issues like language barriers, lack of insurance or inadequate insurance, bias among doctors, and too few minority physicians contribute to minorities receiving fewer medical tests and inferior treatment. The report also found disparities persisted even when controlling for insurance, income, age, and medical history. While the Affordable Care Act aims to improve access to healthcare, the literature recommends increasing minority physician representation, improving interpreter access, strengthening doctor-patient relationships, and bolstering enforcement of equity laws.
Health Disparities and Racial-Ethnic Minority Youth
Racial and ethnic minority youth in the US experience disproportionately high rates of several preventable health issues like asthma, obesity, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and STDs compared to white youth. These disparities are due to social factors like poverty, unequal access to healthcare, education, and environmental conditions. Early intervention is key to addressing disparities, as unhealthy behaviors established during childhood often lead to disease later in life. National surveys find differences in behaviors among black, Hispanic and white teens related to injury, sexual activity, substance use, diet, exercise and tobacco use. Public health efforts should focus on high-risk groups and raising awareness of disparities and strategies to reduce them.
Literature review on Stereotypes in Saudi Arabia
The document provides an overview of stereotyping and discusses several key points:
1) It defines stereotyping as indefinite notions or generalizations related to certain characteristics of a person or group that can be positive or negative.
2) Several researchers and theorists from the early 20th century helped establish stereotyping as a fundamental part of human psychology and perception.
3) Stereotypes can emerge from fears of other groups and tend to associate isolated behaviors with entire groups. They also serve to differentiate groups and target those outside the dominant culture.
4) The use of stereotyping can lead to prejudice and discrimination in employment practices and evaluations.

Effective management of health care operations includes multiple points of interest in evaluation for performance. A key danger lies in the potential to evaluate departments and processes separately, without analyzing the interdependence of people, procedures, and goals. The use of a balanced scorecard in health care is supported in the literature because of its ability to link processes by clinical and non-clinical factors, to include financial goals. The literature has described several areas of review under a balanced scorecard, including finance, operations, employee retention, patient satisfaction, and public reporting. As the balanced scorecard is critical to strategic management, this author supports the use of such in health care organizations. This is due in part to gestalt theory, namely, that the combination of parts equals more than its sum total. The balanced scorecard enables health care managers to view processes both within each compartment and as a contributor to the overall organization mission and vision. Thus, financial stability becomes viable, and stakeholders may be informed of organization progress in the areas of particular importance to their specific groups.
An Introduction to CVD Racial Disparities
This document discusses racial disparities in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. It provides an overview of health care disparities, noting they are differences in quality of care that are not due to access, clinical needs, or patient preferences. The document reviews literature finding racial minorities receive fewer cardiovascular procedures than whites. It also outlines federal programs and recommendations from the Institute of Medicine to address disparities through increased data collection, provider training, and health system changes. The role of perfusionists in efforts to eliminate disparities through education and data collection is discussed.
Reasons for Disparities in Health and HealthCare
This document discusses population health disparities in the United States. It defines disparity and discusses how populations are differentiated by factors like race, ethnicity, income level, and geographic area. It provides examples of population health measures and measures of access to care. Research shows that low-income and minority populations in the US have lower measures of health, access to care, and quality of medical care. The document discusses various social, cultural, environmental, healthcare, and individual reasons for these disparities and outlines upstream, midstream, and downstream interventions to address them.
M. Chris Gibbons - Health IT and Healthcare Disparities
"Health IT and Healthcare Disparities" was presented at the Center for Health Literacy Conference 2011: Plain Talk in Complex Times by M. Chris Gibbons, MD, MPH, Associate Director, Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute.
Description: This presenter will discuss the use of technology and consumer health information to improve healthcare disparities.
BIS 300 Research proposal
This document proposes a book summarizing case studies of police department reforms related to use of force. It aims to help the public understand the complex reform process and how public pressure can support reform. The book would analyze surveys, reports, court documents and news articles related to reform efforts in cities like Cincinnati. It would discuss key concepts in reform like problem-oriented policing and experimental regulation. The goal is to develop public understanding and accountability in the reform process.

This document defines 25 key terms related to social justice concepts and literary analysis. Some of the terms defined include bias, which refers to a preference or inclination that inhibits impartial judgment; culture, which encompasses behavioral patterns, beliefs, and other human works; and difference, which refers to distinguishing characteristics that are often the basis for oppression by dominant groups. Other defined terms include discrimination, diversity, equality, ethnicity, fluid identity, oppression, and white privilege. Literary analysis terms defined include character, characterization, dialogue, irony, and paraphrase.
Girls And Women
The document provides guidelines for psychological practice with girls and women to enhance gender- and culture-sensitive care. It notes that while overt sexism has decreased, more subtle biases persist. Girls and women face various mental health risks from societal stresses. The guidelines aim to avoid harm, improve research/treatment, and benefit women of all backgrounds. They apply broadly to clients, students, and other work, promoting awareness, education, and prevention.
Race medicine
1) The document discusses the debate around using race as a category in medical research and practice. It aims to personalize medicine but in doing so may perpetuate unequal healthcare.
2) While race is commonly used in epidemiology to track disease rates, it is not considered a biological concept. However, some argue race can still correlate with disease risk.
3) The document then discusses concerns around genetic studies of population differences, including that they may fuel biological determinism, overgeneralize groups, and justify discrimination. Overall it argues the concept of race in medicine is problematic and alternative approaches like personal genomics should be used.
Grace Monks_Honors Thesis
Participants were randomly assigned to minimal groups based on t-shirt color and listened to stories about in-group and out-group members. Their memory and attitudes were assessed immediately after and one week later. Results showed no significant in-group preferences in memory or attitudes, despite previous research finding biases based on minimal groups. The study provided insight into how arbitrary group assignments may not reliably influence eyewitness testimony or social perceptions over time as hypothesized.
Implicit Associations
An implicit association test was administered to participants who were primed with either famous European American faces or famous African American faces. Those primed with African American faces reported significantly higher automatic preference for African Americans compared to those primed with European American faces. This finding contradicts previous research finding a preference for European Americans and suggests attitudes may have changed, warranting further research into current racial preferences and the possibility of a stimulus familiarity confound.

Introduction
The health of a population is influenced by both its social and its economic circumstances and health care services it receives. The health care services provided to Hispanics and black in United States of America is low. Throughout the years we have seen advancements in the health care quality received by ethnic minorities groups. But there is still a large gap when comparing minorities with their white counterparts (Vicini, 2015). This has affected the two groups which have low income families and experience poor quality care. Hispanic and blacks are less likely to have a high school education. Disparities in quality of care are common among the blacks and Hispanics in USA. For instance adults of 65 years and above receive worse care than adults with 18-44 years. Poor people have worse access to care than the high income people (Lee et al., 2003).
Healthcare Disparities between the Blacks and the Latinos in USA
The healthcare insurance status for the blacks and Latinos is low and as a result it forms barriers to access to quality health care utilization. Language barriers in health care are associated with decrease in quality of care, safety, patient and clinical satisfaction and contribute to health disparities even among people with insurance. Statistics have shown when comparing blacks and Latinos to their whi ...
Disparity In Health Care
The document discusses health disparities in the United States. It states that disparities exist between racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups in terms of health status, access to healthcare, and treatment within the healthcare system. Discrimination has led to poor health and even death for many minorities and disadvantaged groups. While laws like the Civil Rights Act prohibited discrimination, disparities have still negatively impacted healthcare for many Americans. The causes of disparities are complex with many social and economic factors contributing.
As a nation healthy equity does not exist especially among.docx
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.

Health Disparity among Latino
Introduction
Healthcare is one of the basic needs that a normal human being must be granted. Not only should healthcare be granted but it should be of high quality that is beneficial to all who need it. In the recent past the Latinos have experienced disparities with health care being affected. However, there are different temperaments of these disparities. This is because of the many differences that they have being foreigners these include external and internal factors such as the language barrier, limited health insurance they also seem to lack trust from the rest. However, this is not the case as the quality of healthcare differs based on very many factors some of which include external factors that goes under xenophobia such as race, geography, disability, ethnicity, sex or gender, income, immigrant status, and sexual orientation. This difference in the quality of healthcare brings in the concept of healthcare disparity among a population. In the case of Latino, these disparities are greatly influence by internal factors such as language and cultural barriers, poor healthcare literacy, limited health workers, insufficient health insurance, and distrust health providers among others.
Definably, healthcare disparity can be described as the moral standing or disability as well as elevated burden of harm which are normally felt by the majority social group. This group usually has a common location, gender, ethnicity or status. Healthcare disparity is an important factor when it comes to the discussion on the health status of a nation; this is because the variations in healthcare provided waters down the overall quality of health and also has drastic effects on the given population. The disparities that are experienced in the health sector are majorly seen by the African American, Hispanic/Latino, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans as compared to the white population of the country.
These subgroups of the populations face health disparity majorly because of social factors such as their lower literacy levels, their low economic status, poor housing that is unsafe for all human habitation, and their habitation areas are near environmental hazards. With all these contributing factors the effects of healthcare disparity are visible due to the low numbers of the population in this subgroup being able to acquire health insurance and also the high financial burden that this population experiences when disaster strikes them.
Healthcare disparity is an area where not only the government should get involved in, but also non-governmental organizations that have the will and the resources should take part in so that this situation can be rectified for it has a high impact on the finances of the individuals affected and consequently on the economy of the country. This paper, therefore, gives insight on healthcare disparity among the Latino community who have for years been on the receiving end of this situation. T.

Racial inequalities and discrimination
African Americans bear disproportionate burden in injury, disease morbidity, disability and mortality. This disadvantage is mostly related to age-related mortality. African Americans are significantly at risk for early death compared to the native community. The overall death rate of death among the African Americans in the US is equivalent to that of the natives thirty years ago (Dreyer, Brettle, & Roderick, 2020). The premature death is caused by various disorders such as obesity, cardiovascular heart disease, and hypertension. For example, the cases of death due to heart-related diseases is higher among the African Americans than any other race group in the United States. These health challenges occur in the context of increasing inequalities in the rate of disease infection.
Economic differences cannot explain the difference in health inequalities even when socioeconomic status is controlled. Differences in skin tone may be the basis of the discrimination in health status. The health disparities that negatively affect the African Americans arise from many sources including social inequalities, inherited health risks, and lifestyle patterns. Health disparities could also be caused by race-based discrimination. The concept of place or geographical location is important in explaining contribution of social injustice to health risks. Various studies shows that neighborhood is important in mediating access to social connections and opportunities, all which are factors that affect health status. When neighborhood is characterized by segregation, often linked to racial concentration, then African Americans have higher rates of mortality and morbidity. Residential segregation and discrimination that creates concentrated neighborhoods where residents are poor are social spaces with concentrated health-related problems. African Americans have higher exposure to stressful environments because of fewer resources.
African American, a poor racial minority has poorer health status. The poor community is less likely to have sufficient health and social services and this create a problem of timely access to medical services. Second, the community environment expose the African American to health hazards such as air pollution, dirt, and water contamination (Barsanti & Salmi, 2017). Moreover, concentration of social inequalities and poverty and it related characteristics such as substance abuse, anxiety, unemployment, and crime often creates social environment that lessen social connectedness. Researchers link the idea of biological responses that may be triggered by neighborhood stressors. There is correlation between residential segregation and social inequality. There are different factors that concentrate social stressors which trigger risks of heart disease, cognitive impairment, and chronic inflammation. African Americans who mostly live in unhealthy ...

This chapter discusses systematic attention to health care disparities. It defines health care disparities and describes sources of disparities including biological, environmental, social and idiosyncratic factors. Racial and ethnic health disparities are explored using data from various sources. Disparities exist across dimensions of gender, sexual orientation, and age. Efforts to reduce disparities include developing better data collection, evaluating care quality by demographic factors, and using a systems approach involving health system structure, delivery of care, training, and measuring results of interventions.

Changing Disparities in Health Care
Several studies have found that racial and ethnic minorities, as well as those of low socioeconomic status, experience discrimination in healthcare. One study showed Black individuals with private insurance reported the same level of perceived discrimination as uninsured white individuals. Intervention methods, like Soft Systems Methodology, have been introduced in some hospitals to address disparities through education and analyzing how systems can be improved. However, more research on effective intervention strategies is still needed. It is important for healthcare providers in Burlington, which has higher rates of poverty and racial diversity than national averages, to limit implicit biases and prioritize understanding each patient's individual needs and experiences to help reduce systemic inequities in healthcare.

Abstract
Hispanics are the largest minority group in the USA. They contribute to the economy,
cultural diversity, and health of the nation. Assessing their health status and health needs
is key to inform health policy formulation and program implementation. To this end, we
conducted a scoping review of the literature and national statistics on Hispanic health in
the USA using a modified social-ecological framework that includes social determinants
of health, health disparities, risk factors, and health services, as they shape the leading
causes of morbidity and mortality. These social, environmental, and biological forces have
modified the epidemiologic profile of Hispanics in the USA, with cancer being the
leading cause of mortality, followed by cardiovascular diseases and unintentional injuries.
Implementation of the Affordable Care Act has resulted in improved access to health
services for Hispanics, but challenges remain due to limited cultural sensitivity, health
literacy, and a shortage of Hispanic health care providers. Acculturation barriers and
underinsured or uninsured status remain as major obstacles to health care access.
Advantageous health outcomes from the “Hispanic Mortality Paradox” and the “Latina
Birth Outcomes Paradox” persist, but health gains may be offset in the future by
increasing rates of obesity and diabetes. Recommendations focus on the adoption of the
Health in All Policies framework, expanding access to health care, developing cultural
sensitivity in the health care workforce, and generating and disseminating research
findings on Hispanic health.

Background
Hispanics are the largest ethnic minority in the USA; in 2014, Hispanics comprised
17.4% of the US population (55.4 million), and this percentage is expected to increase
to 28.6% (119 million) by 2060. Hispanics in the USA include native-born and foreign-
born individuals immigrating from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain [1].
Hispanics are disproportionately affected by poor conditions of daily life, shaped by struc-
tural and social position factors (such as macroeconomics, cultural values, income, educa-
tion, occupation, and social support systems, including health services), known as social
determinants of health (SDH). SDH exert health effects on individuals through allostatic
load [2], a phenomenon purported t ...
CHAPTER II-LITERATURE REVIEWIntroduction Generally,
The document provides a literature review on disparities in the US healthcare system. It discusses that prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), there were significant disparities in access to and quality of healthcare based on factors like race, ethnicity, gender, geographic location and socioeconomic status. The ACA helped address some of these disparities by expanding Medicaid coverage and making insurance more affordable and accessible. However, full elimination of healthcare disparities requires ongoing efforts targeting the various social determinants that influence health outcomes and access to care.
Policy Brief_LinkIN
This document discusses how states that have not expanded Medicaid are likely to continue health disparities for racial and ethnic minorities. It notes that as of January 2016, 19 states had not expanded Medicaid, leaving many low-income minorities uninsured. These uninsured populations have limited healthcare access and options. The document summarizes that states not expanding Medicaid are disproportionately impacting minority populations and contributing to coverage, financial, and healthcare system disparities gaps between states that have expanded Medicaid and those that have not.

Urban Disparities
The document discusses health disparities between urban and rural areas. It notes that urban areas tend to have more socioeconomic diversity and higher rates of chronic diseases, while rural areas have higher rates of poverty, smoking, and uninsured residents with limited access to healthcare. The document also examines factors like availability of health professionals, distribution of resources, and accessibility of social services that influence these disparities. Racial and ethnic minorities also face barriers in accessing healthcare for cancer screening, treatment, and prevention.

Module 4 DiscussionPopulation and community health are extremely.docx
Module 4 Discussion
Population and community health are extremely important for the well being of our population. Healthcare providers play important roles in improving population health and are also the health educators for their community. Population health is the outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group. Community health is a branch of public health which focuses on people and their role as determinants of their own and other people’s health in contrast to environmental health, which focuses on the physical environment and its impact on people’s health. All healthcare professionals can take many actions to promote population and community health. There are many ideas about actions that need to be taken to improve the health among the population in Miami and the communities within the city.
I went to Broward College for my BSN and the last class we had to take before graduate from the program was community health. The purpose of this class was to integrate us as healthcare provider in the community which allowed us to help the less fortunate people or the vulnerable population. A group of us chose to complete the class with the homeless population in Broward county. We went to the homeless shelters to provide primary care to the homeless individuals by taking their blood pressure, blood sugar, and so on. We literally had an open clinic at each of the homeless shelters. We had doctors and nurse practitioners that volunteer to provide care to them. It is extremely important for healthcare professionals to promote community health to the homeless population because it can help decrease illnesses and many diseases among them.
According to Tsai, Jenkins, & Lawton (2017), individuals who are homeless represent the most vulnerable, indigent group in the United States and thus may have great medical needs that must be addressed to prevent sicknesses and illness. A few studies have shown access to healthcare can improve the health and lives of various patient populations (Tsai et al, 2017). Lack of access to healthcare or lack of health insurance is one of the major issues in the United States. The homeless population is among the vulnerable populations that suffer more due to their lack of healthcare coverage. By volunteering to help, healthcare providers can improve their quality of life. These individuals are not able to purchase or pay for the most basic health insurance and will not be able to get any treatment without us (healthcare providers) volunteering to help at their shelters.
According to Bernstein, Meurer, Plumb, & Jackson (2015), reported rates of diabetes and hypertension in the homeless population range from 2% to 18% for diabetes and 18% to 41% for hypertension. The percentages of homeless individuals being diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension will continue to increase because they do not have access to healthcare. there is also a growing consensus that the adult home.

Health inequity is a serious healthcare problem that negatively affects everyone. This problem worsens the health outcomes of the population it directly impacts and those with resources and power. For instance, health disparity makes it hard to control, contain and treat infections illnesses, like the Covid-19, therefore putting everyone at risk of contracting the disease regardless of their socioeconomic class. Culture plays a critical role in patient care and health outcomes and affects our perception of others, health behaviors, and expectations during care delivery. This paper discusses health inequalities, advocacy for families, patients, and community, and cultural competencies. Comment by lola siyanbola: Can you explain how?
Health inequalities involve differences in health resources' distribution of health between different population groups resulting from social conditions in which members of the population are born, live, grow, work and age. The inequalities are basically the systematic differences in the status of health between population groups (Marmot, 2017). The inequalities have substantial economic and social costs to both persons and communities. Social factors including employment status, education level, gender, ethnicity, and level of income affect an individual's health status, therefore creating health disparities among populations due to variations of the social factors (Malbon, 2019). Lower socioeconomic status is associated with poor health outcomes. The appropriate combination of government policies can address these health disparities.

I would advocate for patients by connecting them with resources outside and inside the hospital to support their wellbeing and double-check for errors to identify, stop, and correct errors to ensure their safety (Doucette et al., 2018). I would educate the patients on the best way to manage their health conditions and improve their quality of life. Protecting patients' rights and giving them a voice, particularly when vulnerable, is key to safe and quality patient care. I would advocate for families by utilizing my expertise to persuade the hospital authorities about the economic position of the family, their educational level, and their cultural values about patient care. I would advocate for the community by working to ensure community members are adequately and fairly treated in all matters of health.
The first Implicit Association Tests (IAT) reveals that I hold a moderate automatic preference for Arab Muslims with 26% over Other People. This means that I am likely to respond moderately respond faster to the care needs of patients from the Arap Muslim compared to other patients. ...

Cultural Sensitivity
Introduction
Cultural sensitivity refers to the awareness as well as the sensitivity to culture and other practices. Cultural sensitivity can encompass examining different cultures and how they should be accurately approached in the health care. It also includes how to communicate according to within the health care setting. Cultural sensitivity is important area because it can impact the way people work in the health care facilities. It also encompasses valuing differences so as harassment and discrimination, either intended or not, do not happen. Culture is a fundamental and complex concept with consist of broad aspects of people in the health care setting (Campinha-Bacote, 2003). It includes the concepts of sexual orientation, gender, faith, age, disability, race, ethnicity, profession and socioeconomic status. Cultural sensitivity stems from this understanding in that; it is must encompass interpersonal skill as well as the knowledge that will allow the providers of health care, appreciate, understand, and work with individuals from different cultures other than theirs. It also consists of acceptance and awareness of the people’s cultural differences, knowledge, self-awareness of the cultures of the patient and adapting to the skills. Many cultural groups, including lesbian and gay people, individuals with disabilities, lower socio-economic groups and ethnic minorities, for example, African-Americans (Campinha-Bacote, 2003). Cultural sensitivity is considered one of the reasons peoples do not access quality health care services because people are not aware as well as understand the effects attached to one’s culture and how it may be perceived by others. An individual's culture should not appear to be dominant in the place of work.
Healthcare Disparities and How they Relate to Cultural Sensitivity in the Healthcare Setting
Health care disparities, by definition, refer to the differences in health as well as healthcare between population groups. It typically involves a higher burden of illness, mortality experienced in the health care setting, disabilities, and injury by one population group about another. Moreover, it refers to the differences between groups in the health care facilities regarding provision of care services, its access, and quality given. This issue are related to the people’s cultural sensitivity in that the issue surrounds this concept are based on socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, age, and disability status. Similarly, cultural insensitivity arises from disparities that in return causes care limit as well as continued improvement in overall quality of cares (Campinha-Bacote, 2003). Health care disparities can be exacerbated by looking at some things that comprise specific health conditions, provider biases, differences in access to care, poor patient-provider comm ...

Data brief no_29_prevalence_of_alzheimers_dementia
This document discusses the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias among older Medicare beneficiaries. It finds that in 2009, 13% of those dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid and aged 65 or older had been diagnosed with dementia, compared to only 4% of Medicare-only beneficiaries. The prevalence increases sharply with age, with 31% of dual eligibles aged 85 or older having a diagnosis. Due to the high costs of care and increased likelihood of impoverishment, integrated care programs need to account for the needs of those with dementia.
Data brief no. 28 chronic_conditions_rehospitalizations
Medicare beneficiaries with 5 or more chronic conditions are more than twice as likely to be rehospitalized within 30 days of discharge compared to other Medicare beneficiaries. In 2009, 38% of Medicare beneficiaries with 5 or more chronic conditions were rehospitalized within 30 days of discharge, compared to 16% of all Medicare beneficiaries. Rehospitalization rates continue to increase at 60 and 90 days post-discharge for those with multiple chronic conditions. Reducing preventable rehospitalizations could improve patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs.
DataBrief No. 26: Medicaid Managed Care and Long-Term Services and Supports F...
Dual eligibles are those individuals who are enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid. This DataBrief explores differences in the prevalence of chronic conditions and functional impairment among dual eligibles by age.
DataBrief No. 25: Service Utilization Functional Impairment and Chronic Cond...
Seniors with multiple chronic conditions and functional impairments were nearly twice as likely to have an inpatient hospital stay in 2006 compared to those with chronic conditions alone. Specifically, 39% of seniors with chronic conditions and functional impairments had at least one inpatient hospital stay that year compared to 15% of seniors with chronic conditions alone. Similarly, among seniors with five or more chronic conditions, 43% of those with functional impairments had an inpatient stay versus 27% of those without functional impairments. This suggests that the presence of disabilities is more closely linked to higher health care utilization than chronic conditions alone.
DataBrief No. 24: Medicare's Highest Spenders
In 2006, Medicare spent almost 90 times more per capita on seniors in the top quintile as compared to the lowest quintile.
DataBrief No. 23: Medicare Spending by Quintile
In 2006, one-third of Medicare beneficiaries in the top quintile of spending had both chronic conditions and functional impairment.
DataBrief No. 22: Medicare Spending by Functional Impairment and Chronic Con...
In 2006, Medicare spent almost three times more per capita on seniors with chronic conditions and functional impairment than on seniors with chronic conditions alone?
DataBrief No. 21: Dual Eligibles, Chronic Conditions and Functional Impairment
In 2006, 37% of seniors eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid had functional impairment in addition to chronic conditions, compared to only 9% of seniors eligible for Medicare-only. This DataBrief describes how dual eligibles have higher rates of both chronic conditions and functional impairment than Medicare-only beneficiaries.
DataBrief No.19: Differences in Hospitalization Rates by Residence
Community-residing seniors with moderate or severe disabilities that require assistance with two or more activities of daily living have higher rates of hospitalization than similar seniors living in nursing homes. Specifically, 21% of community-residing seniors with disabilities had two or more hospital stays in 2006 compared to 12% of nursing home residents. This difference may be due to better care management and monitoring of conditions in nursing homes, which helps prevent conditions from worsening to the point of needing acute hospital care. Informal community caregivers often lack the same level of support for managing seniors' health needs.
DataBrief No.17: Differences in Medicare Spending by Disability and Residence
This DataBrief describes Medicare expenditures across residence settings for seniors with moderate or severe disabilities.
DataBrief No. 16: Residence Setting by Level of Disability
Less than 40% of older Americans with moderate or severe disabilities reside in nursing homes. Most older adults with disabilities prefer to receive long-term services and supports (LTSS) in their own homes or in residential care facilities rather than nursing homes. As a result, states have significantly increased spending on community-based LTSS over the past few decades. According to 2006 data, 58% of older Americans with moderate to severe disabilities received assistance in either community or residential care settings, while only 38% resided in nursing homes.

Long-term care includes services and supports provided to individuals with functional and cognitive impairments in the home, community, and institutions. This DataBrief reports on how long-term care is financed in the U.S.
Data brief no_12_dual_eligibles_across_the_states
Dual eligibles, who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, make up different percentages of total Medicare populations across states, ranging from 11% in Montana to 37% in Maine. Individuals can qualify for Medicaid through various pathways including Supplemental Security Income (SSI), medically needy coverage, and Medicare Savings Programs. States with higher percentages of dual eligibles tend to have higher poverty rates and Medicaid programs that cover individuals with higher incomes. The Affordable Care Act aims to improve care coordination and lower costs for this vulnerable population through the Federal Coordinated Health Care Office.
Data brief no_11_eligibility_pathways_for_dual_eligibles
“Dual eligibles” are low-income individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. This DataBrief describes the pathways through which dual eligibles access assistance with Medicare premiums and cost-sharing.
Seniors with Activities of Daily Living Needs DataBrief No. 5
One in four seniors who live alone has difficulties with activities of daily living (ADLs) or cognitive impairments. Approximately 26% of seniors living alone need assistance with one or more ADLs and 2% have cognitive impairments alone. An additional 1.6% have difficulties with both ADLs and cognitive impairments. This highlights the substantial need for support services among this vulnerable population who may lack assistance.

Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Data brief No. 14 Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Disability
- 1. Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Disability Approximately 1 out of 3 Black and Hispanic older Americans report having a disability or cognitive impairment compared to 1 out of 5 White older Americans? DataBrief Series ● February 2011 ● No. 14
- 3. 29.5% of Hispanics and 35% of Black Americans have a disability or cognitive impairment, compared to 20% of White Americans.1
- 4. Poor health status, low education levels, and low socioeconomic status contribute to the likelihood that an individual will develop a disability and require assistance in the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as eating, bathing, dressing, and toileting.2
- 5. Rates of disability among older Americans have been declining over the last two decades, but the declines have been greatest among the well-educated and high-income populations. As a result, the disparities in disability between high and low-income groups and high and low education categories have widened. Black and Hispanic Americans, as minority populations, are more heavily represented in lower income and lower educational attainment categories, which may contribute to the higher rates of disability among these populations.3Page 2 1 Avalere analysis of the 2006 Health and Retirement Survey (HRS) data. 2 Dunlop, Dorothy et al (2007). “Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Development of Disability Among Older Adults.” American Journal of Public Health, 97(12):2209-2215. 3Robert F. Schoeni, Vicki A. Freedman, and Linda G. Martin (2008). Socioeconomic and Demographic Disparities in Trends in Old-Age Disability, ed. David M. Cutler and David A. Wise (Chicago: University of Chicago Press). DataBrief (2011) ● No. 14

Older Blacks and Hispanics have Higher Rates of Disability than Older Non-Hispanic Whites DataBrief (2011) ● No. 14 Page 3 Percent of Individuals Age 65 and Older with Disabilities * Cognitive impairment (CI) is another important type of disability that commonly requires intensive services and supports. 1 Total Non-Hispanic Whites n= 29,139,825. Does not sum to 100% due to rounding. 2 Total Hispanics n= 1,794,507 3 Total Blacks n= 2,545,004
- 7. A Clear Policy Connection The facts in this DataBrief come from the 2006 Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a longitudinal survey of a representative sample of 22,000 Americans conducted every two years. The HRS contains information on impairments in activities of daily living and cognitive impairment, by racial/ethnic group. This DataBrief compares older non-Hispanic Black Americans and all Hispanics to non-Hispanic Whites. HRS reports data for Asians and Native Americans together as “Other.” Because this data is reported in aggregate and the sample size is relatively small, this analysis does not include Asians and Native Americans. This analysis is limited to adults over age 65. Any respondent indicating a difficulty with one or more activities of daily living is considered to have a disability. . Older Black and Hispanic Americans have higher rates of disability than older non-Hispanic Whites. Although disability rates have been decreasing over the last two decades, disparities between racial and ethnic groups persist, which affect health status and associated health spending.1 Eliminating disparities in health and health care has been a central focus in the United States for a number of years. As a key quality improvement objective, improving health and health care is one of the key priorities in the Healthy People 2020 initiative and was a focus of the Affordable Care Act. However, as policymakers create programs to eliminate disparities in health and health care, they need to take into account disparities in disability as well. The Health and Human Services Office of Disability (OD) is tasked with coordinating and overseeing programs and policies aimed at improving the health and well-being of individuals with disabilities. In addition, the Office of Minority Health, reauthorized by the recently passed Affordable Care Act, is charged with improving the health of racial and ethnic minority populations. These two Offices play vital roles in coordinating efforts across the Department of Health and Human Services and will be instrumental in constructing effective policies, programs, and demonstrations to reduce disparities in disability. 1Lubitz, James et al (2003). “Health, Life Expectancy, and Health Care Spending Among the Elderly.” New England Journal of Medicine. 349(11):1048-1055.
