Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Racial and ethnic minorities are more likely than non-Hispanic whites to be poor or near poor. In addition, Hispanics, African Americans, and some Asian subgroups are less likely than non-Hispanic whites to have a high school education. In general, racial and ethnic minorities of-ten experience poorer access to care and lower quality of preventive, primary, and specialty care. While language barriers may have an influence on the amount and type of health care services available to and sought out by minority groups, it is poverty that has the greatest negative influ-ence. While genetically based disease processes may have an influence on the amount and type of health care services available to and sought out by minority groups, it is poverty that has the greatest negative influence. Although mistrust of Western medical practices may have an influ-ence on the amount and type of health care services available to and sought out by minority groups, it is poverty that has the greatest negative influence.
