Health Disparities and Underserved Populations

Read a brief case study from LaVeist – Chapter Twelve for which they will submit a 4-page analysis in APA format (no more than 4 pages). In addition to chapter twelve, students will include and apply
what they learned from the course by also citing the textbooks and at least “two” journal articles no more than five years old.
Below are the guidelines for the case study. Be sure to include subheadings to identify each section, e.g.,
Summary, Critical Information Required, The Role of Dr. Yee, Cultural Conflict, Comparison, Analysis
• Introduction - summary of the LaVeist case
• Answer the questions within the textbook. You want to include subheading as oppose to including the actual
questions. g., Critical Information Required, The Role of Dr. Yee, Cultural Conflict.
• Acknowledge health disparities among underrepresented populations. (CLO 3,4)
• Recognize issues related to the health of American Indians, Alaska Native, Asian, and Pacific Islander
populations.
• Compare the LaVeist case to what you learned from the two journal articles.
o Do you agree with the authors’ findings? Why or Why not?
• What did you find that was missing from the “LaVeist” case study?
(Remember to use Peer Reviewed article sources not more than 5 years old)
