dc.description.abstract | This study aims to research health disparities and highlight the social and economic barriers black and impoverished communities face. These barriers contribute to health outcomes where there are higher death rates and neglect of black and disadvantaged communities. Accessibility is a hindrance that affects communities in need, and many people lack resources to receive better medical treatment. People in at-risk communities are socially and economically disadvantaged and do not receive adequate services. The communities also face racial discrimination by healthcare providers. Solution-based studies suggest that community engagement, medical education, training, and fieldwork are necessary to impact and change the healthcare system. Finding solutions could also positively impact health outcomes so that there are equal rates. I related my findings to my father's experience. | |
