PowerPoint Presentation
The goal of this assignment is to think critically about the need for cultural competency in health the US, and suggest innovative strategies to address that need (focus on solutions).
TOPIC: Why do “food deserts” result in poorer health outcomes such as diabetes and hypertension in South Central Los Angeles?
(some ideas http://www.medicareadvocacy.org/medicare-info/health-care-disparities/)
Address the following questions:
- a) In what ways does your selected population currently NOT receive culturally competent health care and public health service? Give specific examples that can illustrate your point.
- b) What are the specific health consequences of the non-competent health care for your selected population?
- c) What do you suggest to solve this deficiency? Propose one or a series of intervention activities / laws which would help your chosen population to receive more culturally competent health care. You will need to explain the possible short term and long term consequences of your proposed activities / laws.
Format your responses to these prompts as a PowerPoint presentation. The length of the presentation will not exceed 12 minutes.
