Information on disparities and population profiles

The Office of Minority Health provides information on disparities and population profiles for the following groups on their website:

• African American
• American Indian/Alaska Native
• Asian American
• Hispanic/Latino
• Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander

Note

You are to review the information listed on their website and identify the health disparities that are faced by that specific community. Understanding the disparity is one issue, but figuring our a practical solution to reduce the disparities is the greater work of Public Health Practitioners.

Note

You may use other reliable websites and resources to complete this assignment. Once you have clearly identified the disparities, you need to indicate what has already been done at the local, state or federal level to address the issues. As a future PH Professional, provide your insight on why what has already been done, either has or has not made a positive and lasting corrective impact. Lastly, what would you do differently?  You may include other disparities found outside of those directly related to health to complete this task. For example, incarceration rates for African Americans or other Persons of Color. Why is there a difference? What must be done to bring some equity to the issues?

Economics

In Chapter 6 of the textbook, read “Why Market Forces Will Overwhelm a Higher Minimum Wage” by David Neumark then read the following Forbes’ article.  While some information in the article is less current such as the anticipated Biden bill which has been outlined, the article provides a comprehensive history about the minimum wage.

After reading both articles, answer the following prompt based on the first letter of your first name.  For example, my first name is Tammy and first letter starts with a T; therefore I would answer Prompt 2.

Prompt 1 

1.Suppose you are an economist in charge of designing policy to help low-wage workers. Would you prefer a minimum wage or an earned income tax credit? Why?

Prompt 2 

2. Suppose you are a politician running for office. Would it be easier to campaign on a platform of a higher minimum wage or a more generous earned income tax credit? Why?
