Slavery, discrimination, unfair rights to education and civil liberties created a deep mistrust of medicine.  The Tuskegee Syphilis experiment is a poignant example of African-American mistrust in the health care system.  In the Tuskegee Syphilis experiment, black men were subjugated to mistreatment and misinformation about their medical care.  Additionally, many minorities face challenges when accessing health care services, often rating their health as poorer than whites ]]> 2016-11-19 02:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138853031 anjuleka https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138878442 The Affordable Care Act seeks to improve health care for Americans by ensuring all individuals have access to health insurance, reduce health care costs, remove pre-existing conditions, promote preventative care, and improve transparency for patients and providers.  A key measure to increase access to care and eliminate disparity is providing resources in those in underprivileged areas.  Underserved populations typically have limited financial resources, irregular sources of health care, limited access to primary health care, and educational and language barriers ]]> 2016-11-19 14:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138878442 anjuleka https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138881526 2016-11-19 15:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138881526 anjuleka https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138881617 Populations globally are affected when their health care needs are not met or addressed.  Obesity, sexually transmitted infections, nutrition, diabetes and so forth are all conditions that disproportionately affect certain groups of people.  It is therefore, necessary to close the gap in order for all to receive equal opportunities.  One source to bring positive outcomes is to offer target interventions, education and prevention along with an integrated healthcare processes]]> 2016-11-19 15:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138881617 anjuleka https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138881897 The LGBT face the threat of health disparities due to stigma, discrimination, and denial to basic human rights, such as health insurance.  These discriminatory behaviors lead to mental health issues, substance abuse and suicide ]]> 2016-11-19 15:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138881897 anjuleka https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138881949 2016-11-19 15:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138881949 anjuleka https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138882057 2016-11-19 15:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138882057 anjuleka https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138882406 2016-11-19 16:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138882406 anjuleka https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138882770 2016-11-19 16:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/anjuleka/oaioj8kosvnb/wish/138882770
