Introduce yourself to your classmates and instructor. Tell us about your:

hobbies and interests
2. Post your ideas for your health disparity here for peer feedback and instructor approval. Please do not proceed with additional planning of your topic (week 2 and beyond) without instructor approval. Explain:
what is the disparity you plan to address?
why do you believe this issue is relevant and important?
what are the costs (both financially and to the patient) of failing to address this issue?
in what ways do you think we could start to address this issue on a small scale (in small, measurable ways)
After listening to the Richardson Kortum video from the start page, what simple, specific objectives can you develop for your project? Make them small, achievable, and measurable.
3. When considering your disparity topic of choice,
Why would you like to see this disparity change? Why is it important?
What variables have played a role in creating this disparity? Does it have a basis in this module’s discussion of race and ethnicity?
If this disparity isn’t addressed, how will this effect individuals, the community, and the health care system at large (think both in terms of economic and health costs)?
What evidence of the financial impact of this disparity have you found?
