Health care disparity
GUYAyESip5As a health care professional, it is important not only to be aware of underserved populations but the similarities and differences among these populations. In this assignment, you will create a chart in Microsoft Word that profiles two minority populations, which can be selected from the options on the Office of Minority Health (OMH) website:
The Office of Minority Health
The Office of Minority Health
The Office of Minority Health
http://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=2&lvlid=26
Your profile for each population needs to contain information for the following categories:
- Demographics: How large is the group's population size within the United States? What is the age range that comprises the largest segment of the population?
- Cultural Norms: Lifestyle and diet habits that may have a significant impact on health.
- Religious and Spiritual Beliefs: Are there belief systems that may impact health-related decisions?
- Primary Insurance Coverage: What portion of the population has coverage?
- Education: What is the average education level for this population?
- Medical Conditions: Are there medical conditions common to the population?
- Outreach: What efforts have been made to increase medical access to the population?
Based on the chart's information, write a 800-1,000 word paper that discusses the following:
- The similarities and differences of these two groups with regard to accessing health care.
- As health care professionals, could we address these factors so as to increase trust in these populations?
- What role do you believe cultural proficiency among health care professionals may have in mitigating the challenges in providing service to these groups?
