PH 135, Health Issues in a Multicultural Society<San Jose State University>HS 135PH135 Individual Research Paper

Document Content and Description Below

Individual Research Paper “The complex whole which includes beliefs, art, knowledge, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by [man] as a member of society” (Tylor, ... 1871). “The set of learned behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, values, and ideals that are characteristic of a particular society or population” (Ritter & Graham, 2017). “An inherited lens through which the individual perceives and understands the world that [he] inhabits and learns to live within” (Helman, 2000). “Within a group, what everybody knows that everybody else knows” (Sleeter & Grant, 1988). The Individual Research Paper assignment asks you to identify a cultural group that you identify with and explore a disparity that the group experiences using data to describe and define the disparity, including comparisons to other groups (without that last piece it wouldn’t be a disparity, just a health outcome). This in-depth analysis of the health disparity in a specific cultural group should be 8-10 pages long (not including cover page, references, and attachments), and address the following components I.

II. Identify and describe a disparity experienced by this group. This can be a health disparity which is a higher burden of illness, injury, disability, or mortality experienced by one group relative to another, a health care disparity which typically refers to differences between groups in health insurance coverage, access to and use of care, and quality of culturally appropriate care (KFF, 2018) or a disparity in the social determinants of health such as access to quality education or housing and how that affects the group’s health III. Present data that support your beliefs about the identified disparity in this population OR discuss why you think the existing data does NOT support the existence of the health disparity OR why you think the data does not exist to support the disparity (such as the cultural group not historically being counted in national data, such as with Transgender communities. The data and analysis should include: [Show More]
