We have learned about vulnerable populations and disparities within health systems. Please respond to the following three prompts (all prompts are required).

I. Choose a vulnerable population of your choice and share a health disparity about that population - be sure to cite your source (APA Style). Remember a health disparity is something that is avoidable and unjust. If you are having a difficult time thinking of some, please reach out to the instructor. Use data and evidence to support your health disparity.

A. For example, "In a 2009 study, children in rural Oregon compared with children in an urban setting were 1.48 times more likely to have unmet medical care needs" (DeVoe et al., 2009)

B. DeVoe, Jennifer E., Lisa Krois, and Rob Stenger. 2009. "Do Children in Rural Areas Still Have Different Access to Health Care? Results from a Statewide Survey of Oregon's Food Stamp Population." The Journal of Rural Health: Official Journal of the American Rural Health Association and the National Rural Health Care Association 25(1):1-7.
