Disparity Analysis Chart

As 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

(OMH) website: The Office of Minority HealthThe Office of Minority HealthThe 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: 1. 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? 2. Cultural Norms: Lifestyle and diet habits that may have a significant impact on
health. 3. Religious and Spiritual Beliefs: Are there belief systems that may impact health-related decisions? 4. Primary Insurance Coverage: What portion of the
population has coverage? 5. Education: What is the average education level for this population? 6. Medical Conditions: Are there medical conditions common to the
population? 7. 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: 1. The similarities and differences of these two groups with regard to accessing health care. 2. As health care professionals, could we
address these factors so as to increase trust in these populations? 3. What role do you believe cultural proficiency among health care professionals may have in
mitigating the challenges in providing service to these groups?
