I Chapter 19 highlights the ways in which sociologists view health and healthcare. In doing so, one key focal point is on the disparities among racial, ethnic and gender groups in the United States. Using the Centers for Disease Control Website:
1. Identify and discuss one health disparity based on race or ethnicity. Be sure to include the link to the data you are referencing. 2. Identify and discuss one health disparity based on gender. Be sure to include the link to the data you are referencing. 3. Discuss the importance of understanding how health is a social issue, not just a personal one (think back to using your sociological imagination)
