Description

Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.

In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the health status of your selected minority group to the national average. Include the following:

  1. Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?
  2. What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
  3. Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
  4. What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?
  5. Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
  6. What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?

diseases are concerned. Obviously, there is a clear correlation between socioeconomic factors
and the occurrence of the aforementioned health issues amongst African Americans. Most
importantly, several health disparities are prevalent among African Americans. The major
themes that define the health status of the African Americans include health needs (mortality and
morbidity), health services, health risks, health disparities and even the social influence of health.
Health Disparities amongst the African American Ethnic Group

American ethnic group. To begin with, a research study that sought to determine health
disparities amongst the African Americans found out that people who belong to this ethnic group
