Questions #1 and #2 address two of the major course themes of power and control, and poverty, geography, and health and how these themes create vulnerability and how understanding the embeddedness of power, control, poverty, geography and health help us understand how health disparities are created and maintained. Question #1. (20 points) In the previous weeks we reviewed literature which discussed how power and control impact health to create vulnerability in some populations in groups. In this essay, after reviewing the following reading, \u201cWhere health disparities begin: the role of social and economic determinants \u2013 and why current policies may make matters worse\u201d by Woolfe and Braveman (2011), discuss how power, control and social capital may impact the health of residents living in Dallas, Denton, Johnson, Kaufmann, and Tarrant counties to create vulnerability among them. Your discussion should include the following elements: \u2022 Definition (based on course materials) of vulnerability \u2022 Review the US Census Bureau, Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) data for \u201call ages in poverty\u201d and \u201cmedian household income.\u201d \u2022 Review the US Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS) data for \u201cage\u201d and \u201cracial.\u201d \u2022 Compare and contrast which county you think has the most and the least social capital based on the data presented, and why. \u2022 Your response should mention 1-2 of the social and economic determinants mentioned in the Woolfe and Braveman article. \u2022 Your responses should also include elements drawn from the Gladwell book \u201cBlink\u201d Chapters 1-4, (i.e., thin-slicing, making snap decisions) and other relevant course readings. Question #2. (20 points). Each author provides very unique views and discussion about poverty, geography, and health. After reviewing the following readings, \u201cUnderstanding the Rural-Urban Difference in Nonmedical Prescription Opioid Use and Abuse in the United States\u201d by Keyes et al., (2013) and \u201cToothless\u201d by Murakawa (2011), discuss how poverty, geography, and health are related. Your discussion should include the following elements: \u2022 Definition (based on above readings) of poverty \u2022 Identify two (2) additional social factors which may be related to poverty, geography and health. \u2022 In your discussion of the articles, be sure to compare and contrast how each author discusses the topic. \u2022 Lastly, your responses should also include elements drawn from the Gladwell book \u201cBlink\u201d Chapters 1-4, (i.e., thin-slicing, making snap decisions) and other relevant course readings<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
