Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United
States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African
American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander).
Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and
other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.

In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the health
status of your selected minority group to the national average.
Include the following:

1. Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the
   current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity
   influence health for this group?
2. What are the health
   disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional
   challenges for this group?
3. Discuss the barriers to health
   for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education,
   and sociopolitical factors.
4. What health promotion
   activities are often practiced by this group?
5. Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health
   promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is
   likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique
   needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an
   explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
6. What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when
   creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to
   support culturally competent health promotion for this population?
   Why?
