  1. Unemployment rates are higher in the western United States.
  2. Latino families have lower childhood immunization rates.
  3. The high school dropout rates are higher for drug users.
  4. African American nurses are more likely to work with AIDS patients and their family members.

Feedback

2 Lower childhood immunization rates represents a health disparity or unequal health care in a vulnerable ethnic minority group.
3 High school dropout rates do not represent a health problem and thus are not a health disparity.
