For your discussion question this week, I would like for you to focus more on some research regarding health disparities in North Carolina using the website from the NC Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities at
https://schs.dph.ncdhhs.gov/SCHS/pdf/MinorityHealthReport_Web_2018.pdf(Links to an external site.)
Choose one of the minority health facts sheets on this page to review (Hispanic/Latino, American Indians, African Americans), then answer the following questions.
1. Briefly describe several health-related facts that you learned about the group you chose. What stood out to you?
2. What are the top three leading causes of death among the group you chose? What factors contribute to the leading cause of death for the group?
3. What health programs, wellness programs, screenings, classes, etc. need to be targeted to help reduce the health disparities for the group?
