NRS 429V Week 2 Assignment Health
Promotion Among Diverse Populations
Details:
Analyze the health status of a
specific minority group. Select a minority group that is represented in the
United States (examples include: American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian
American, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian, or
Pacific Islander.)
In an essay of 750-1,000 words,
compare and contrast the health status of the minority group you have selected
to the national average. Consider the cultural, socioeconomic, and
sociopolitical barriers to health. How do race, ethnicity, socioeconomic
status, and education influence health for the minority group you have
selected? Address the following in your essay:
- What is the current health status of this minority group?
- How is health promotion defined by the group?
- What health disparities exist for this group?
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 given the unique needs of the
minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the
most effective choice. Cite a minimum of three references in the paper.
You will find important health
