Benchmark Assignment Disparity Analysis Chart.
This is a benchmark assignment.
As a health care professional, it is important not only to be aware of underserved populations but the similarities and differences among these populations. In this assignment, you will create a chart in Microsoft Word that profiles two minority populations, which can be selected from the options on the Office of Minority Health (OMH) website:
ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER
The Office of Minority Health
The Office of Minority Health
The Office of Minority Health
http://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=2&lvlid=26
Your profile for each population needs to contain information for the following categories:
Demographics: How large is the group’s population size within the United States? What is the age range that comprises the largest segment of the population?
Cultural Norms: Lifestyle and diet habits that may have a significant impact on health.
Religious and Spiritual Beliefs: Are there belief systems that may impact health-related decisions?
Primary Insurance Coverage: What portion of the population has coverage?
Education: What is the average education level for this population?
Medical Conditions: Are there medical conditions common to the population?
Outreach: What efforts have been made to increase medical access to the population?
Based on the chart’s information, write a 800-1,000 word paper that discusses the following:
The similarities and differences of these two groups with regard to accessing health care.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
