Race, Ethnicity, and State Health Disparities, health and medical assignment help

The purpose of this discussion is to think deeply about health disparities
among groups of people living in the same areas, considering the facts,
potential causal factors, and possible approaches to alleviating the problems.

Begin by reviewing the data provided on the Trust for America’s Health Web
site. Choose two health conditions, such as obesity or asthma, and examine how
your state’s (North Carolina)
incidence of those conditions compares to that of other states and to national
rates. Summarize where your state stands in terms of these conditions.

Now consider the data for your state
regarding disparities among racial and ethnic populations, especially for the
two health conditions that you reviewed. Summarize any patterns that you see.

For your initial post in this
discussion,

• Present the facts regarding health disparities, race,
  and ethnicity in your state in regard to one health condition that you
  believe is significant, including a comparison to other states.
• Speculate as to the causes of these disparities. Using
  the data on the Trust for America’s Health Web site, other data sources
  you find, and your own analysis, suggest and explain at least two possible
  causes for the disparities you found.
• Suggest at least one approach to assessing health risks
  for individuals in your state to address a significant disparity. How
  might prevention strategies and approaches based on race and ethnicity
  improve or hinder accurate risk assessment?

This is a discussion assignment. The
answer should be a minimum of 250 words with scholarly references.
