Discussion

Choose a health disparity (from your own experience, your community, or a provided case study).
Use key terms and concepts from the readings and videos to analyze the causes and possible solutions for this disparity.
Be sure to reference specific ideas and vocabulary from the core materials.

Interactive Element (Optional, but encouraged):
To make the discussion more engaging and help you think critically, you may choose to add an interactive component to your post. Here are some ways you can do this:

Role-play: Write your post from the perspective of a public health professional, policymaker, or community member. Explain how you would address the health disparity from that viewpoint.
Mapping exercise: Create or describe a simple map or diagram showing how social determinants (like housing, education, or transportation) connect to the health disparity you chose.
Policy debate: Briefly argue for or against a specific policy that affects your chosen health disparity, using evidence from the readings.
