Answer to Question 1

Poverty and illness go together, often linked by factors such as access to health care and insurance. The cultural makeup of who is poor is changing. Disparity in poverty rates of European Americans and other ethnic groups have dropped 23 overall, and such changes can influence usage of health services and other health factors (Wollman, Yoder, Brumbabugh-Smith, & Haynes, 2007). Socioeconomic status is related to a higher occurrence of most chronic and infectious disorders and to higher rates of nearly all major causes of mortality and morbidity (Adler, Boyce, Chesney, Folkman, & Syme, 1993). The more money you have, the better your health.

Answer to Question 2

Answer should include five answers that can be included under these topics: ethnicity, race, religion, age, sex, family values, the region of the country, physical or psychological conditions (such as being deaf or hard of hearing, or having the condition of Cerebral Palsy for two examples), gender or sexual orientation, marital status, or other topics that you emphasis or teach in your class.
