Humanities Question

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 4 in Diversity, Cultural Humility, and the Helping Professions: Building Bridges Across Difference, and investigate the issues of structural racial discrimination that subcultures face in when seeking medical assistance associated with social, economic, and environmental disadvantage.

In your initial discussion post, explore the following topics:

Discuss the intersectional factors (i.e., race, gender, class) that may contribute to structural racism discrimination in the healthcare industry.

Compare the morbidity and mortality rates of diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and cancer in White and non-White communities.

Describe the rates of diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders of the dominant and subcultural group in the U.S.

• Examine two theoretical models that may contribute to the relationship between exposure to oppression, discrimination, and healthcare disparities.
