Diabetes: Can be prevented with nutritional counseling. Also due to the non-accessibility to healthy affordable food. 
Vitamin D Deficiency: Can be prevented by taking supplements. 
HIV/AIDS: Can be prevented with mass education and outreach. 
Cancer: Lung, breast, colon & prostate 35% more likely in African Americans. Prevention includes: annual physical exams, nutritional counseling and physicians being more open to listening. 
Sickle cell anemia: 1 in 12 chances in African Americans. Life expectancy is 50 years of age. 
Asthma: African Americans are more frequently hospitalized, 33% are children and parents who smoke out children at higher risk. Need smoke free and toxin free environment. 
Hepatitis C: Leads to chronic liver disease and liver cancer.
Depression: High incidents of depression leads to suicide. Preventative measures are to discuss everything with physicians

An illness or disease, viewed as undesirable, may be equated with bad luck, chance, fate, poverty, domestic turmoil, or unemployment, and in such case, Black Americans will consult a physician only after attempts with home remedies have failed.
Studies in health disparities show residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods often have little to no environmental support for healthy behaviors which increases their risk for health disparities. For most African Americans and others residing in low-income neighborhoods, the abundance of fast food chains (fast food companies have specifically targeted African American communities as a growing market for their products), high-priced food marts, and a lack of access to healthy affordable foods contributes to the prevalence of obesity and chronic illness. Convenience and cost have an especially strong influence on low-income individuals’ likelihood of adopting healthy dietary behaviors; fresh fruits and vegetables and lean meat are more expensive than packaged processed foods. Similarly, lack of transportation can be a pressing problem for low-income families, something middle class Americans of all ethnic groups are spared. If you have to take a bus to do real grocery shopping, it is more likely you will rely on the corner 7-11 for convenience food. Obesity, especially in children, is an enormous problem across America.
Understanding a patient’s practice of cultural norms can allow providers to more quickly build rapport and ensure effective patient-provider communication. Efforts to reduce health disparities among African Americans must be holistic, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of individuals and families. Also important is making connections with community members and recognizing conditions in the community. Again, get to know your patients on an individual level. Generalizations in this material may not apply to your patients. ]]> 2019-03-20 16:42:14 UTC https://padlet.com/vharris1030/ivljuhape43e/wish/343430841 vharris1030 https://padlet.com/vharris1030/ivljuhape43e/wish/343431459 2019-03-20 16:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vharris1030/ivljuhape43e/wish/343431459 vharris1030 https://padlet.com/vharris1030/ivljuhape43e/wish/343433062 2019-03-20 16:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vharris1030/ivljuhape43e/wish/343433062 vharris1030 https://padlet.com/vharris1030/ivljuhape43e/wish/343441255 2019-03-20 17:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vharris1030/ivljuhape43e/wish/343441255 toni_barrett https://padlet.com/vharris1030/ivljuhape43e/wish/343494808

African Americans bodies were used without consent 

Forced to participate in dissections and medical exams 

Tuskegee syphiliis study, hundreds of black men were administered syphillis (without their consent), and denied treatment

Less likely to receive certain medicine for their condition compared to whites 

Less likely to be offered better -tolerated medicine called atypical antipsychotics 

For example: Clozapine considered the “CADILLAC” of psychiatric medicine because of superior effectiveness is prescribed less in minorities 

Black patients are more likely then whites to receive lower triage scores for the same complaints 

Less serious complaints equal longer wait times
