After completing this assignment, you will have differentiated among the constraints affecting healthcare access, cost, and/or quality.

      respond to the following prompt:

1. Sultz and Young (2018) discuss several emerging domestic public health issues on pages 334-338. Dr. Jones names racism as a social determinant of equity, which helps to explain why we see health disparities. While Sultz and Young do not mention racism, racism may be influencing the public health issues they discuss.

   Pick one of the domestic public issues on pages 334-338 and discuss how racism may be impacting that specific issue. Use what you learn from the video and outside research to support your claims.

1. For example, what does the health issue look like when broken up by ethnicity? Outside research should come from a reputable source like a peer-reviewed journal article, government, or NGO website (i.e., “.gov” or “.org”). No newspaper articles or “.com” websites.

   Citing your sources means there are in-text citations and a references page. Consult tutorials from the YouTube channel, Smart Student in Blackboard on citing using APA 7th edition format.

1. Write your response in essay form with a minimum of 500 words and no more than 700 words. Your name, title, and references page are not included in the word count.

2. Use correct grammar and spelling.
