Understanding the Scope of Vulnerable Populations
Review the descriptions of the special populations addressed in
Chapter 1 of your course textbook. Identify the three groups you feel
are most vulnerable. Explain your reasoning for selecting the groups
based on:
- An analysis of the statistical data/trends related to the
populations. How did you use data to determine the three most vulnerable
populations? Explain your thought process. - The World Health Organization’s formal definition of “health.” How
are the physical, mental, and social aspects of health compromised in
these three vulnerable populations in comparison to the others? - The statistical data and the health compromises identified above.
Create a list of at least three health service needs for each vulnerable
group you identified.
Your initial contribution should be 250 to 300 words in length.
Your research and claims must be supported by your course text and atleast one other scholarly source. Use proper APA formatting for in-text citations and references
